You enter the laboratory and see an experiment. How will you know which class is it?
If it’s green and wiggles, it’s biology.
If it stinks, it’s chemistry.
If it doesn’t work, it’s physics.

An elderly, tenured professor of philosophy at Stanford University always started every class with a vulgar joke. While the guys always enjoyed the comical break, many of the female students took the risque humor as a personal affront.
After one particularly obscene example, the women in the class decided to band together and walk out as a group the next time he started one of his bawdy jokes. The professor, getting wind of their plot to disrupt his daily repartee, decided to play into their hands. The very next morning he walked into the classroom and said,
“Good morning, class. Did you hear the one about the terrible shortage of prostitutes in Iraq?” With that, all of the women stood up in a huff and headed straight for the door.
“Now wait, ladies,” cried the professor, “The boat doesn’t leave until tomorrow!”
