Engineer, Physicist, Mathematician:
An engineer, a physicist, and a mathematician were on a train heading north, and had just crossed the border into Scotland.

The engineer looked out of the window and said "Look! Scottish sheep are black!"
The physicist said, "No, no. Some Scottish sheep are black."
The mathematician looked irritated. "There is at least one field, containing at least one sheep, of which at least one side is black."

And the scientist said "There's a black sheep. I wonder how many of Scotland's sheep are black? The researcher replied "Google says there are over 7 million sheep in Scotland and some of them black!"

A psychologist, a biologist, a mathematician and a theologian sit outside a cafe drinking coffee. Across the street a man comes walking down the road, and meets a woman who was coming in the opposite direction. They kiss and and disappear into a building, then a minute later they come out again with a small child.

The psychologist says. “That's impossible humans do not build relationships that fast.” The mathematician says. “And one plus one does not equal three.” While the biologist says. “By all that is known about biology, humans simply, can not reproduce and grow that fast.”

Then the theologian goes down on his knees and says. “Thank you god. This is the greatest day of my life. I get to witness a miracle and there are three scientists here to confirm it.”

And the skeptic says, “I need more information before describing what we are seeing.” Was it an adoption agency? Was it a maternity hospital? Was it a nursery daycare? So many questions to be answered before a skeptic can reasonably ascertain what they may have witnessed.

@Julie808 Keep asking the questions, that's what life is all about. And the worst thing that can happen is that you get slapped by a school teacher. (Well ok you can be stoned to death in some countries, but lets be resonable.)

The doctor said apparently the mathematician is a bit short sighted

Perhaps the Engineer is jumping to conclusions.

@Gatovicolo

Perhaps you want readers to think the engineer is jumping to conclusions.

@Gatovicolo

Yep, I hypothesized as much and your bio confirmed: you studied math.
I was a tin can electrician during the Korean War, started college to study electrical engineering, and finished with grad study in math and physics.

@yvilletom I didn’t write the joke. I just posted it.
