Exercise

Exercise.

It's better than the alternative: aches or sighs...

Chemistry student

I'm teaching the new organic chemistry student about functional groups. We reach aldehydes, and consider the formula of formaldehyde. I ask him what the next aldehyde would be called.

The student looks up, and with the innocent expression of the true imp, says: "Informaldehyde?"

Kung Fu Panda's home

In which country does the Kung Fu Panda live?

Po-land.

Where else, huh?

ढंग का खाना

माँ, बेटे से: दाल ढंग से खा ली, बेटा?

बेटा, माँ से: नहीं, चम्मच से खाई थी.


Angles

If there is an angle between lines TR and RM, angle TRM (pronounced 'trum'), and you divide the sine of this angle by the cosine of this angle, what do you get?

...

OK, OK, I just asked you to name it, not to throw one.

Hee hee hee. I love this one.
Hint: try looking up the trigonometric ratios and say it out loud.

The true story behind Angry Birds


Once upon a time, Google set up an online advertising program called AdWords.

Then along came another online advertising program called ... AdBirds. I kid you not.

One of these continues to hog the major share of online advertising. This makes the other one considerably annoyed.

Hence... Angry Birds!

What's to eat?

This one is from VR.


"Hey Mom, what's there to eat?"

His Mom throws a stone at him.

"Hey! I just asked for something to eat!

Mom: "हम eat का जवाब पत्थर से देते हैं ..."

संता की दवाई

संता सिंह के चुटकुले इतने प्रचारित हैं की अब हम अपने संता चुटकुले बनाने लग गए हैं. यह अँ. द. ने पेश किया है:

संता डॉक्टर के पास गया, फिर पर्ची चेमिस्ट के पास ले गया. जब वह घर पहुंचा, उसने सारी दवाइयां कूड़ेदान में फ़ेंक दीं.

प्रीतो काफी खिज गयी. उसने पूछा कि डॉक्टर के पास गया ही क्यों.

"अरे, डॉक्टर ने भी तो जीना है."

"अच्छा, तो चेमिस्ट से दवाइयां क्यों लीं?"

"उसने भी तो जीना है."

"तो फिर सारी दवाइयां कूड़े में क्यों फ़ेंक दीं??"

"अरे प्रीतो, मैंने भी तो जीना है!!"

Santa's medicine

Santa Singh has become so popular, that he stars in original jokes, too. This one is from AD.

Santa went to the doctor, then he took the prescription to the chemist. When he got home he threw the medicines in the dustbin.

Preeto was pretty annoyed. She asked him why he went to the doctor.

"He needs to make a living."

"And the compounder?"

"Ditto."

"And why are the medicines in the dustbin?"

"Hey! I need to live, too!"
