6 ways to catch a lion

  1. Newton's method: Let the lion catch you. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Implies, you caught the lion.
  2. Einstein's method: Run in the direction opposite to that of the lion. Due to higher relative velocity,the lion will also run fast and will get tired. Now, you can trap him easily.
  3. Schrodinger's method: At any given moment, there is a positive probability of the lion to be in the cage. That's it. Set the trap, sit down and wait.
  4. Inverse transformation method: We place a spherical cage in the forest and enter it. Perform an inverse transformation with respect to the lion. Lion is in, we are out.
  5. Thermodynamic method: Construct a semi-permeable membrane which does not allow anything to pass through it except Lions. Then sweep the entire forest with it.
  6. Integration/differential method: First integrate the forest over the entire area. The lion is somewhere in the result. Then differentiate the result PARTIALLY w.r.t. the lion to trace out the lion.

An Irishman's been drinking at a pub all night. The bartender finally says that the bar is closing. So the Irishman stands up to leave and falls flat on his face. He tries to stand one more time, same result. He figures he'll crawl outside and get some fresh air and maybe that will sober him up.

Once outside he stands up and falls flat on his face. So he decides to crawl the 4 blocks to his home and when he arrives at the door he stands up and falls flat on his face. He crawls through the door into his bedroom. When he reaches his bed he tries one more time to stand up.

This time he manages to pull himself upright but he quickly falls right into bed and is sound asleep as soon as his head hits the pillow. He awakens the next morning to his wife standing over him shouting at him.

"So, you've been out drinking again!!"

"What makes you say that?" he asks as he puts on an innocent look.

"The pub called, you left your wheelchair there again."
