That reminds me of one I had forgotten. Thanks John!

Ego and superego walk into a bar. The doorman stops them and says, "I'm going to need to see some ID."

"Even after all this time, the sun never says to the earth, "You owe me." Look what happens with a love like that. It lights the whole sky."

I just read a comment by John Glenn.  When he was sitting on top of the rocket during countdown,  he couldn't get the thought out of his head that every piece of equipment he was in...and on....was made by the lowest bidder.

Why did the blind man fall in the well? He couldn’t see that well.

And while we are on the topic of disabilities (sorry but this one made me laugh out loud and I shared it with my dyslexic dad)

Silver and gold walk into a bar.  The bar tender says “Eh you, get outta here!”
Gold turns around and heads back out.

How can you tell the difference between a chemist and a plumber?
Ask them to pronounce "unionized."

Because it was a polar bear.

During a linguistics  lecture the professor declared that "In English, a double negative forms a positive. In some languages, such as Russian, a double negative is still a negative. However, in no language in the world can a double positive form a negative."
Then a voice from the back of the room said "Yeah, right."

An infinite number of mathematicians walk into a bar. One orders a beer, the next a half a beer, the next a quarter, the next an eighth... Shaking his head, the bartender puts two beers on the counter and says, "Come on, guys. Know your limits."

A mathematician and an engineer find a genie. This genie will grant them both the object of their greatest desire. There's a catch, though. The object will appear at the other end of the room. Every step they take towards it will be half as long as the one before.

Hearing this, the mathematician pulls his hair and wails, "That's impossible! I'll never get it!" He hangs his head and walks out of the room.

The engineer just nods. "That's okay. I can get close enough."

A waiter gives a gentleman a cup of coffee. The gentleman takes a sip and spits it out.

He turns to the waiter and says, “Waiter! This coffee tastes like mud!”

The waiter, looking surprised, turns to the gentleman and says, “But, sir, it’s fresh ground!”
