Three scientists are sitting at a cafe idly watching the world go by. Across the street from them two people go into a house. A few minutes later three people come out.
"Did you see that?" shouts the biologist excitedly "They multiplied!"
"Poppycock!" scoffs the physicist "Our initial measurements were simply in error."
The mathematician looks up dreamily and says, "If one more person goes into that house it will be empty."
I told this joke to a mathematician once and was informed that the punchline is strictly accurate, at least to a mathematician.
