a geek's sense of humor

So, I have been told that my sense of humor is pretty corny and I laugh at "bad jokes" - how can a joke be "bad"; as long as it makes you laugh, right? I'm taking taking ECOn 423 for my social science elective and what I thought would be an intense economics class studying the markets really turned out to be a financial engineering class. The professor really lightens up the mood with his jokes and more than half the time it turns out I'm the only one laughing! He was talking about the time he spent in Champagne, IL where he learnt the true definition of a farmer. He asks us what the definition is and people are giving straight answers like "A person who works in a field" or "A person who farms" and then he goes..."No! A farmer is one who is outstanding in his field!"...get it...out standing in his field....? I thought that was pretty funny but it turns a whole bunch of people did not get the corniness behind it! When I explained it to a few people after class, they were like, "Aaaaah! That's pretty funny!"....
In another one of his classes, we were talking about economic growth and how to double the capital. He asks, which country has the fastest growing economy - where the capital doubles every year? Once again, students were mentioning Scandinavian countries and Fas Eastern countries. He say, "You guys don't know anything! It's Ireland...Dublin, Ireland. Dublin....doubling!"...get it?

Just now, we had a brainstroming session with everyone at the office and someone's phone starts ringing. He picks up and says, "Hello. (pause). Is this April?" It was reflex for me to say, "No, it's October!".

Q: What did the Oxygen (O) say when Magnesium (Mg) bonded to it?
A: OMg!!!

(Atoms have electrons that are positively charged, neutrons that have no charge and protons that are positively charged. A hydrogen atom has one proton and one elctron. Why am i telling you this? To understand the two jokes that follow.)

Two hydrogen atoms walk into a bar. One says, "I think I’ve lost an electron."
The other says, "Are you sure?"
The first says, "Yes, I’m positive…"

So, a neutron walks into a bar. "I’d like a beer" he says.
The bartender promptly serves up a beer.
"How much will that be?" asks the neutron.
"For you?" replies the bartender, "no charge."

No, I'm not always this corny, but I was up all night working on a presentation (worth 30%) for my Cancer Biology class and I had way too much coffe today. My brain is pretty fried and I needed to give my brain cells a rest. Now, that I feel less stressed - I'm going to get back to work.
