Descartes is sitting in bar, having a drink. The bartender asks him if he would like another. "I think not," he says and vanishes in a puff of logic.
Stolen from the philosopher's joke page, which also had this one:
An engineer, an experimental physicist, a theoretical physicist, and a philosopher were hiking through the hills of Scotland. Cresting the top of one hill, they see, on top of the next, a black sheep.
The engineer says: "What do you know, the sheep in Scotland are black."
"Well, *some* of the sheep in Scotland are black," replies the experimental physicist.
The theoretical physicist considers this for a moment and says "Well, at least one of the sheep in Scotland is black."
"Well," the philosopher responds, "on one side, anyway."
God reference? Well, at least it's not as old as the Descartes! heheh
As Jimi Hendrix approaches St. Peter at the pearly gate, he hears "Sunshine of my Love" wailing in the distance. Jimi asks Peter, "Did Eric Clapton beat me up here then?"
Peter says, "No, no, that's God playing. He only thinks he's Eric Clapton."
