Read about why the elements of magnetic flux are hard to understand or about the sexual adventures of Alice and Bob in a bar. Let's use the comments for this article to list more jokes from our technical professions which are funny but not necessarily to those outside of the field. I will close with this gem from the article: 'What's new?' 'E over h.'"

Of course. Psychology, for instance, is wrapped-up physics, too. But when was the last time you heard someone refer to a psychology joke as a physics joke?
