Quote of the Day

Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts' complaint about telling lawyer jokes, reported on a website of The Wichita Eagle:
I find that when I tell lawyer jokes to a mixed audience, the lawyers don’t think they’re funny and the nonlawyers don’t think they’re jokes.

He is braver than I am; I never tell professor jokes to any audience. Professors as a rule have no sense of humor and non-professors don't know enough about academia to know why the jokes are funny.
