This has been bothering me for some time now:
"A square, a cube and a tesseract walk into a bar."

I feel like there must exist a punch-line, but I've never found a good one.

The Bartender says, "Thanks for coming."
The square, the cube, and the tesseract say, "Dimension it."

If that ever happens again, don't lose sleep over it! Just whisk away your worries with a humorous non-punchline!

Wows, is that drawing the non-punchline?

Is that what happens next?

If I was mistaken and you have indeed seen this, then I apologize.

Hahaha...
Indeed, it's not a punchline.

There's no line at all.
Just punch.

So the Square, the Cube and the Tesseract sit down at the bar, and the bartender says, "New customers, huh? I'll bet I can guess which drinks you guys each want."

First he looks at the Square, and he says "You're a simple shape, I'll bet your favorite drink is a simple drink. Let me get you a beer."

And the Square replies, "Cool, man. Make it a Coors Light."

After the bartender gives the Square his beer, then he looks at the Cube. "You are a solid shape, you are going to want a solid drink." He thinks for a minute, and then he pours a double vodka on the rocks. As he gives it to the Cube, he says "Check out the ice. Cubes just like you."

"Thanks, dude!" says the Cube. "This is just what I wanted, and I appreciate the personal touch." The Cube gives the bartender a good tip.

Finally the Bartender looks at the Tesseract. "Whoa!" he says. "You're multidimentional!"

First the bartender gets a bucket from under the bar and washes it carefully. Then he fills it halfway with ice. Then he painsteakingly adds shots of every single hard liquour in the whole damn bar, plus a whole bottle of absinthe. Then he throws in a handful of green olives, a handful of cocktail cherries, four pickled eggs and a sprikling of salted peanuts still in the shell. Then he mixes it, and layers the top completely with the little umbrellas for the umbrella drinks. Then he lifts the bucket up and plunks it down on the bar in front of the Tesseract.

Angrily, the Tesseract says "What the hell is this, man? Do I look like an Octonion to you?"

(And the punchline is that now you have to go and look up what an octonion is)

(BONUS PUNCHLINE: "All I wanted was a martini, hyper-rotated, not stirred!")

In mathematics, the octonions are a nonassociative and noncommutative extension of the quaternions.

Oh great, I think I know what the new OHRRPGCE codename is going to be.

I'm pretty certain they could just go on extending those rings to have any power of two number of basis elements. I've seen quaternions used - do they use octonions for anything?

I seem to remember reading something on John Baez's site associating them with N-branes or loop quantum gravity, or something like that. it was a bit over my head :)

Weren't they used by physicists longing for the invention of vector calculus? :)

Punchlines lead to lazers. Lazers lead to more punchlines. More punchlines to mathematics. Mathematics lead to the DARK SIDE!

Wow. Like the first punchline. A lot.

A square, a cube, and a tesseract walk into a bar.

The bar looks up and says, "What, is this some kind of joke?"


I know, used before... I like it though... Big grin
