- A mathematician, a theologian and a biologician stand in front of an elevator. Two persons enter; after some time the elevator comes back and three persons exit. What do the guys think?

- An engineer, after hearing a talk of a physician, can’t recover from two hassles: Firstly the physician talked about eight-dimensional spaces, and secondly the mathematician next to him seemed like he understood everything. The other day he asks the mathematician how he could understand everything, and the mathematician responds: “At first I conceive of an n-dimensional space. Then I simplify the situation via n=8!”

- A sociologist, an engineer, an experimental physician and a mathematician sit in a train driving through Scotland. The sociologist looks out of the window and says: “Oh, look, a black sheep!” The engineer: “All sheep in Scotland are black.” The physician says: “No, all we know that there is at least one black sheep in Scotland.” The mathematician says: “Not even that, we only know that there’s a sheep which is black on at least one side.” The physician feels snubbed and ripostes: “In Scotland there’s at least one sheep that appears black to us from this distance and under the current view conditions.” This goes too far for the sociologician, so he pulls the emergency break and all four of them walk over to the sheep. Once they’ve reached it, they see that it is indeed white on the other side with black spots. Then the farmer comes over, and the sociologist says: “You’ve got some odd sheep!” Then the farmer: “That’s not a sheep, that’s a goat.”
