Quantum Mechanics Joke

[Dale]

I was reading Parallel Worlds today and it reminded me of a joke I had heard on the radio a year or so ago. More of a riddle really.

What is the difference between an auto mechanic and a quantum mechanic?

A quantum mechanic can park his car in the garage without opening the door.

I thought it was funny.

My favorite snippet from "Car Talk" is when they took a call from a woman saying "I have a 1982 Volkswagen Quantum--" and one of them jumped in and said "and you don't know any Quantum mechanics?"

Hah! I'm guessing Justin provides many opportunities to use that term. :-)

[Kirsten Sanford]

I use that term all the time...

Good one! I liked the joke in the book (Kaku was quoting someone else, I forget who), where one physicist called another physicist a "spherical bastard" because he was a bastard anyway you look at him. That's funny!
