scruffy said:An engineer, a physicist, and a mathematician are sharing a hotel room at a conference. During the night, the curtain in their room catches fire from the heater. The engineer is the first to smell the smoke and wake up. He sees the fire, and then the ice bucket on the table by the bathroom. He grabs the ice bucket, fills it with water, and pours the water on the curtain. Satisfied that the fire is out, he goes back to sleep.
A few hours later, the coffee maker in the room has a short circuit, and sets the table on fire. The physicist smells the smoke and wakes up. He sees the fire, and then the ice bucket on the table by the bathroom. He grabs the room service menu and a pencil from his bedside table, does some quick calculations, then fills a the ice bucket 1/3 full of water. He unplugs the coffee maker, and puts out the fire with exactly the minimum amount of water. Satisfied that the fire is out, he goes back to sleep.
An hour later, the heater sets the curtains on fire again. The mathematician wakes up. He sees the fire, and then the ice bucket on the table by the bathroom. Satisfied that a solution exists, he goes back to sleep.
LMAO !!!!
