Facebook humor FAILs
The frequency of people failing to get my jokes on Facebook suggests to me that I’m either far less clever than I think I am or far more clever.
Or maybe both? I asked two logicians if this could be possible. The first replied, “It seems paradoxical that you could be more clever than you think and not more clever than you think because we’re used to a formal logic system that prohibits the simultaneous truth of a postulate and its negation.” The second logician then said to the first, “You know what else seems logically impossible? Your MOM! ‘Cause she’s so FAT! Oh, SNAP!” The latter then explained that his assessment of the obesity of the former’s mother might be amended if he were to “exclude her middle”.
Oh, and we had this conversation immediately after walking into a bar.

There’s a much (well, somewhat) better joke to be made here, if you’re willing to switch to statisticians.

@Bob Mike: … and vice versa! Shit, this still isn’t working how I expected.
