Inspired by this reddit thread (via) on the most intellectual joke people know, I open up the question to you all.

The best intellectual joke from the thread itself is:
Jean-Paul Sartre is sitting at a French cafe, revising his draft of Being and Nothingness. He says to the waitress, "I'd like a cup of coffee, please, with no cream." The waitress replies, "I'm sorry, Monsieur, but we're out of cream. How about with no milk?"
The best bad joke in the pack is:
Q: According to Sigmund Freud, what comes between fear and sex?

A: Fünf.
Toldja it was bad.

Your turn.

What do you get when you cross an elephant and a mountain climber?

You can't cross an elephant and a mountain climber. A mountain climber is a scalar.

Rene Descartes and two of his friends were on an airplane. The stewardess came by with a cart, and asked "Would you like coffee or tea?"

The first friend said, "I would like coffee, please," and the stewardess gave him coffee.

The second friend said, "I would like tea, please," and got tea.

The stewardess asked Rene Descartes, "Would you like coffee or tea?"

Descartes said, "I think not," and disappeared.

My friends have been having great fun with the Freud one lately.

I like this one:

I used to be a structural linguist, but now I’m not Saussure.
