[Chicago Astronomer - Astro Joe]

According to a poll conducted by the British Association for the Advancement of Science, the following is the world's funniest joke:

Famed fictional detective Sherlock Holmes and his gruff assistant Doctor Watson pitch their tent while on a camping expedition, but in the middle of the night Holmes nudges Watson awake and questions him.

HOLMES: Watson, look up at the stars and tell me what you deduce.

WATSON: I see millions of stars, and if there are millions of stars, and if even a few of those have planets, it is quite likely there are some planets like earth, and if there are a few planets like earth out there there might also be life.

HOLMES: Watson, you idiot! Somebody stole our tent.

If indeed you do have a bunch of astronomers jokes, then I would recommend starting a thread of Becky jokes. In this way, the single joke thread won't be a long one, and we can see the differences in our humor.

Let the jokes begin!

Joe

I tried to post some jokes in a new thread but got an error message that says only admis and moderators can start new threads. That is new to me.

Joe,

I take that back, it is on there. Maybe I am just in the Twilight Zone today.

Gary Larson has had many imitators, but no one comes close.

Starbux...

I didn't get it as it was downloading and just saw the cartoon without the caption. Then when the caption appeared... I laughed out loud....Heh heh, quite funny.

And it's a double funny with Becky's name included in the humor.

Bravo Malcolm.
