You might not get all of these jokes at first.

That’s OK.

You’ll probably get some, and you might have to google a few others, but it’ll be worth it.

This list does finally answer the question we’ve all been asking: “Can a smart joke still be dumb?”

The answer is absolutely yes. But they’re also still funny:

#1. Helium

Helium walks into a bar and orders a beer.

The bartender says, “Sorry, we don’t serve noble gases here.”

He doesn’t react.

#2. The Photon

A Photon checks into a hotel, and the bellhop asks him if he has any luggage.

The Photon replies, “No. I’m traveling light”

#3. Errors

This sentence contains exactly threee erors.

#4. Chemists

An organic chemist, an analytical chemist, and a physical chemist are asked if a certain horse will win today’s race.

The organic chemist asks what the horse has been eating and what drugs were given to it.

The analytical chemist asks for the makeup of the track and mud.

The physical chemist starts with, “If we assume that the horse is a sphere…”

#5. A German in a Bar

A German walks into a bar and asks for a martini.

The bartender asks, “Dry?”

He replies, “Nein, just one.”

#6. Classy

Your mother is so classless, she could be a Marxist utopia.

#7. Computer Counting

There are only two hard things in Computer Science: cache invalidation, naming things, and off-by-one errors.

#8. Joyce/Joist, Girder/Goethe

An Irishman goes to a building site for his first day of work, and a couple of Englishmen think, “Ah, we’ll have some fun with him!”

So, they walk up and say, “Hey, Paddy! As you’re new here, make sure you know a joist from a girder…”

“Ah, sure, I knows” says Paddy, “‘Twas Joyce wrote Ulysses and Goethe wrote Faust.”
