Here are fifty “intellectual jokes” you may enjoy.
I got this link from Janet Reid’s blog, btw, which is often worth checking out. She has good advice up right now about things to do while an agent dawdles around with getting back to you about a full manuscript. Not that I am likely to ever read Bleak House. Too many books on my TBR shelves that are way more likely to be, you know, actually fun to read.
Anyway! I meant to pick a favorite joke, but actually it’s hard to choose, so here, a fairly random selection of four brief jokes:
“It’s hard to explain things to kleptomaniacs because they always take things literally.”
“Is it solipsistic in here, or is that just me?”
“Who does Polyphemus hate more than Odysseus? Nobody!”
“Did you hear about the suicidal homeopath? He took 1/50th of the recommended dose.”
I’m a sucker for math jokes, so I’ll go with Benoit B(Benoit B Mandelbrot) Mandelbrot.
I loved that one, too! Recursive humor always appeals to me.
