Alright. A biologist, physicist, and a mathamatician see 2 people go into a house. An hour later they saw 3 people come out of the same house. The biologist says "They must have reproduced!" The physicist says, "Our numbers were wrong." What did the mathematician say?

"If one more person goes into the house, it will be empty."

Haha *feels dumb* *doesn't get it* *is usually the one to give intelligent jokes*

Either I don't get it, or it isn't funny. x.X

Thats a good one. And for those who don't get it, here's the sum.

2-3=(-1).
(-1)+1=0.

So the mathematician thought that there were -1 people in the house.

I got it and I liked it! It reminded me of my Algebra teacher! For obvious reasons...

I got it, it was clever. I chuckled, I told my dad and he laughed...I guese it is the kind of thing only certain people like

i actually thought of that when i read that, but the joke is actually that it's a dumb mathematician

ok I didn't get it til I saw the explanation lol

And I thought they would know that MAYBE there were other people inside the house before the 2 went in.

I would give that to the algebra teacher at my school...but I never had him. Went straight to geo this year. x.x

I get it now, though.

Lol... I got it after the explanation but when I understood it it's a nice joke xP

I don't think I got it when I first heard it either. My calculus teacher told it to us.

I didn't get it until I saw the explanation. It's probably funnier if you get it on your own. I'll have to tell it to my mom and see if she gets it (she's a college math teacher).
