Another one, also a bit lame:

There are three men on a train. One of them is an economist and one of them is a logician and one of them is a mathematician. And they have just crossed the border into Scotland and they see a brown cow standing in a field from the window of the train (and the cow is standing parallel to the train). And the economist says, 'Look, the cows in Scotland are brown.' And the logician says, 'No. There are cows in Scotland of which at least one is brown.' And the mathematician says, 'No. There is at least one cow in Scotland, of which one side appears to be brown.
I thought the second person was meant to be a physicist or an engineer? Logicians if anything are even more pedantic than mathematicians...

Don't be silly, you cannot cross a scalar with a vector :D.

Why do they never serve beer at a math party?

Because you can't drink and derive.
