i don't think i've posted this before...

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."

Though of course the philosopher would also say that the physicists claims are logically equivalent...

Here is another...

The chancellor (or whoever) is complaining about the physics department... 'you guys need too much money, what to run experiments and stuff... Why can't you be more like the maths department? All they require is pens paper and a wastepaper basket... Or better yet why can't you be more like the philosophy department? All they require is pens and paper'.
