I'm more a fan of 'questionless' jokes myself. A classic:
Joke #4
Two muffins are sitting in an oven. One turns to the other and says 'boy it's hot in here, isn't it?'
Th other muffin looks at him and screams 'AHHHHHHHH! A talking muffin!'
Now If I think of any actually good ones I'll let you know.

Re: Jokes: they are supposed to make you laugh
Joke 1 made me laugh (took me a moment to realize it, but after that I thought it was awesome), and I liked the humor from Anonymouswizard.
I don't get joke 3 (seems a natural response, but maybe I'm missing a pun) or joke 8.

Re: Jokes: They're Supposed To Make You Laugh
A police officer was on patrol when he saw a car going extremely slow on the freeway. He put on his lights and pulled the car over, and found it was full of 4 frazzled old ladies, looking extremely frazzled with the exception of the driver. The police officer explains that driving so slow is dangerous on a major highway. The driver says "I'm sorry officer, but a sign just a couple miles back said the speed limit was 22."
The cop explains that that sign was for the route number, not the speed limit, and they share a good laugh. He then asks why the other old women look so bedraggled. The driver looks at him and says "Well officer, we just turned off route 111."

Re: Jokes: They're Supposed To Make You Laugh
A grizzled cowboy strolls into the saloon one evening for a night of hard drinking. He's the quiet type and spends the night drinking in silence in the corner alone. In fact he's so quiet, that wanting to get a rise out of the stoic gunslinger, some of the younger patrons sneak out to hide his horse while he's drinking.
When he finishes up, he walks outside and is of course enraged to discover his horse missing.
The cowboy kicks in the saloon door, rests his hand on his weathered revolver and in a booming baritone growls "Listen up you worthless yokels, my horse is missing and if one of YOU don't find it for me before I finish this drink I'm going to do what I done down in Texas....and I don't like what I done down in Texas. Nobody likes doing what I done down in Texas..."
So the cowboy sits down, has a drink and when he walks outside his horse is waiting for him. As the cowboy swings up onto the saddles the bartender runs out and shouts "Wait! I've got to know...what did you do down in Texas?"
The cowboy scowls and replies "I walked home."

So a rope slithers into a bar and orders a drink. The bartender just stares at it and goes, "Get out of here, we don't serve ropes here." The rope leaves and goes and messes itself up, gets all tangled, messes up its hair, and so on. Then it goes back in and orders a drink. The bartender says, "Hey, aren't you that rope that was just in here?" The rope says, "Nope, I'm a frayed knot!"

Re: Jokes: They're Supposed To Make You Laugh
I'm more of a fan of story-style jokes than question-answer jokes. Observe.
-------------------
A duck waddles into a saloon, waddles right up to the bar, hops up onto a stool, and asks, "Got any grapes?" The bartender, perplexed at this talking duck, is gobstruck for a moment, before responding, "No, we haven't got any grapes." The duck shrugs, inasmuch as a duck can shrug, hops off the stool, and waddles out of the saloon.
The next day, in waddles the duck again, right up to the bar. He hops up onto the same stool, and asks again, "Got any grapes?" The bartender shakes his head, "No, we still don't have any grapes." The duck shrugs, hops down, and leaves.
This continues for two weeks. Every day, around the same time, the duck waddles in, waddles up to the bar, and asks his question - "Got any grapes?" What started as a strange and amusing happenstance has become a thing of dread and annoyance for the hapless bartender.
One day, the duck waddles in, repeating the daily ritual, and hops up onto his regular stool. Before he can ask his question, the bartender snaps, "Listen, you little twerp, if you ask me about grapes one more time, I'm gonna glue your beak shut, nail your feet to the floor, and clobber you with a hammer!"
The duck pauses, tilting its head slightly. "Got any glue?" it asks. "No," replies the bartender.
"Got any nails?" "No," comes the reply.
"Got any hammers?" "No."
There's a pause.
"Got any grapes?"

So, there's a hotel. One night, a salesman arrives and asks for a room. Clerk says "OK, here's the key for room 549. It's just up the stairs there -- but be careful, the 99th step is very unstable and you might fall in if you step on it."
The salesman takes the key and proceeds up the steps, carefully counting as he goes.
5...

25....

95, 96, 97, 98, jumps over the 99th step and makes it safely to his room.
The bellboy follows with his luggage. The bellboy is new and needs to carefully count steps:

95, 96, 97, 98, jumps over the 99th step and delivers the luggage.
Salesman decides he's hungry. Calls room service and asks for a burger, fries and a Coke. The waiter comes up the stairs carrying the food:
5...

95, 96, 97, 98, jumps over the 99th step and delivers the order.
Well, then a married couple shows up and asks for a room. Clerk gives them room 551, but warns them about the 99th step. The husband goes up to the room:

95, 96, 97, 98, jumps over the 99th step and the food is delivered.
Meanwhile, a business woman arrives at the front desk, having been dropped off by an Uber. She gets room 565. and the same warning about step #99. Up she goes:

95, 96, 97, 98, jumps over the 99th step and makes it to her room.

Two men set out to go ice fishing. As they are augering a hole in the ice, they hear a booming voice come from above them, saying,
"THERE ARE NO FISH UNDER THE ICE HERE."
The two men look around in confusion for a moment, then they pack up, move about 30 feet, and start making a new hole. Soon they hear the booming voice again,
"THERE ARE NO FISH UNDER THE ICE HERE."
The two men look around again, then pack up their gear, move another 30 feet, and start getting ready to try again, when they hear,

Re: Jokes: They're Supposed To Make You Laugh
A man wakes up in the morning and as he's getting ready to go to work a booming voice seems to shout "OUTSIDE!", so the man panics and scrambles outside. Once outside, the voice bellows "TREE!", so the man runs to the oak tree in his back yard, whereupon the voice demands "DIG!"
Without hesitation, the man falls to his knees and starts digging in the dirt with his hands. "DEEPER!" the voice commands when he begins to slow down and so he tears at the ground until his hand latches onto a ratty old duffel bag in the ground. The man drags it into the sunlight and stares at it for a moment in wonderment, until the voice shouts "OPEN!"
Quickly the man unzips the bag and dumps its contents onto the ground. At a glance, he estimates there's more than $100,000 in loose bills. Before he can even think of something to say at this kind of luck, the voice is at it once more, it shouts "VEGAS!" and so without hesitation he grabs the money and rushes to the airport to get a plane to Las Vegas.
The flight is quiet, but the second he touches down the voice shouts "CASINO!" so he has the cabby drop him off at the closest one. As soon as he gets out of the card, the voice shouts "ROULETTE!", so he runs to the roulette wheel and as the voice thunders "BLACK!" the man throws down every cent he has on the table.
The ball bounces around for a tense moment before the croupier calls out "Red 23!"
The voice just screams "FUUU-"

I'm sure there's at least two physicists on this forum (Ifni and myself) so that's your quota already filled.

Nothing: you can't cross a vector and a scaler.

I always liked this joke because when I first heard it, the friend telling it was drunk and botched it horribly. It was hilarious.

nice joke, I get the punch line (mostly). How is a mosquito a vector? Is it really obvious and am I just being really dumb?
P.S. @lio45, what about me? I know some physics, and I really enjoy thinking of the SCIENCE behind throwing stuff at people

It is a vector for, among other things, malaria. As for whether that's obvious, I'd say "somewhat."

Fair enough. I'm just used to being surrounded by idio... uh, non-scientists.

I qualify as both an idio... and a non-scientist, so at least one is in the audience.

Us physicists don't learn about epidemiology, thats for the idio... I mean biologists (or whoever studies mosquitos, idk)
