Every Friday after work, a mathematician goes down to the Ice Cream Parlor,
sits in the second-to-last seat, turns to the last seat, which is empty,
and asks a girl, who isn't there, if he can buy her an ice cream cone.
The owner, who is used to the weird, local university types, always shrugs
but keeps quiet. But when Valentine's Day arrives, and the mathematician
makes a particularly heart wrenching plea into empty space, curiosity gets
the better of him, and he says, "I apologize for my stupid questions, but
surely you know there is never a woman sitting in that last stool,
man. Why do you persist in talking to empty space?"
The mathematician replies, "Well, according to quantum physics, empty space
is never truly empty. Virtual particles come into existence and vanish all
the time. You never know when the proper wave function will collapse and a
girl might suddenly appear there."
The owner raises his eyebrows. "Really? Interesting. But couldn't you
just ask one of the girls who comes here every Friday if you could buy HER
a cone? You never know ... she might say yes."
The mathematician laughs. "Yeah, right. How likely is THAT to happen?"
A husband read an article to his wife about how many
words women use a day... 30,000 to a man's 15,000.
The wife replied, "The reason has to be because we
have to repeat everything to men".
The husband then turned to his wife and asked, "What?"
I know I'm not going to understand women.
I'll never understand how you can take boiling hot wax, pour it onto your upper thigh,
rip the hair out by the root, and still be afraid of a spider.
Amy and Jamie are old friends. They have both been married to their
husbands for a long time. Amy is upset because she thinks her husband
doesn't find her attractive anymore.
"As I get older he doesn't bother to look at me!" Amy cries.
"I'm so sorry for you, as I get older my husband says I get more beautiful
every day." replies Jamie.
"Yes, but your husband's an antique dealer!"
