The first person to come up with a joke about a tax inspector, taxi driver or rat catcher will get my vote.

So a tax inspector and a taxi driver walk into a bar... the rat catcher ducked!
 
  • #70
This taxi driver stops to pick up a passenger and in climbs a rat.
"Take me to the IRS please."
So the taxi driver drives the rat to the IRS.
"Wait here," says the rat.
About five minutes later the rat comes walking out and climbs back into the cab.
"How'd it go?" asked the taxi driver.
"I only had to give the collector 20% of my cheese." said the rat.
"That's good!" says the taxi driver.
"No, gouda." says the rat.

Hi wolram! :smile:

Is this a frictionless taxi driver? :confused:

I can't see the picture yet, but I'll assume the tax inspector and the rat catcher are joined by a massless inextensible rope, and that the taxi driver is called Schrödinger.

Hint:

i] no normal force has ever been measured on a tax inspector

ii] tax always flows from a hotter bolder to a colder body

iii] taxi drivers go along all possible paths

iv] the rat catcher will not leave the roller coaster until the tax inspector collects the death duties on Schrödinger's rat! :smile:

For this approximation, assume that the taxi driver is spherical.

Am I allowed to nominate myself (most of my attempts at humour are in little-read homework threads)?
