I'm trying to look for papers with funny abstracts (in particular, there is one I saw a while ago, I believe it was physics, that had an abstract that only said no which I am trying to find, but I would love to see other funny one as well.)

Chemistry journals often publish graphical abstracts accompanying the actual text of the abstract. Sometimes these images have unintended meanings:

http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/nl802977m

This one suffers from an unfortunate choice of acronym for copper nanotubes (see the image):

Those were a big hit with all my fellow postdocs.
