A neutron walks into a bar and asks "How much for a drink around here?" to which the bartender replies "For you, sir, no charge!"

 

*laugh, snort, laugh*

Q: What is the simplest way to observe the optical Doppler effect?

 

A: Go out at and look at cars. The lights of the ones approaching you are white, while the lights of the ones moving away from you are red.

When a third grader was asked to cite Newton's first law, she said, "Bodies in motion remain in motion, and bodies at rest stay in bed unless their mothers call them to get up."

There is this farmer who is having problems with his chickens. All of the sudden, they are all getting very sick and he doesn't know what is wrong with them. After trying all conventional means, he calls a biologist, a chemist, and a physist to see if they can figure out what is wrong. So the biologist looks at the chickens, examines them a bit, and says he has no clue what could be wrong with them. Then the chemist takes some tests and makes some measurements, but he can't come to any conclusions either. So the physist trys. He stands there and looks at the chickens for a long time without touching them or anything. Then all of the sudden he starts scribbling away in a notebook. Finally, after several gruesome calculations, he exclaims, "I've got it! But it only works for spherical chickens in a vaccum."

*laughs* I don't have it anymore but I showed a few people it. Randall Munroe lurks /r9k/ on 4chan, a place I often lurk too. We had a thread about the purity of subjects and it was argued by many that Philosophy is the purest of all subjects as they all have origins in Philosophy. Randall himself drew an addition to that where it went on for ages and a bearded guy with a pipe was sitting there like; "And they are all just constructs of the human mind to create order out of chaos."

 

Oh, it made me chuckle.
