Bar Joke

Recommended Posts

The famous mathematician and philosopher René Descartes goes into bar and orders a glass of wine.   About half an hour later the bartender says "René, I see you have finished your glass.  Would you like another?"  Descartes thought for a moment and said, "I think not."   And then Descartes immediately blinked out of existence and vanished from the universe.

To get the joke you need to know that one of the many things Descartes is famous for is "cognito ergo sum" which is Latin for "I think therefore I am".

Even though I didn't know it was actually him who is recognised for the phrase I did however guess. Very good.
