physicist/mathematician/engineer jokes

the comment thread on a post about physicists' use of math ("Physicists, particularly experimental ones, tend to be a little cavalier about mathematics.") quickly devolved into nerd jokes:

A physicist, engineer, and mathematician are riding in a train through the Scottish countryside. They see a lone black sheep on a hill. Each writes home:

Physicist - 'Today we saw a black sheep in Scotland.'

Engineer - 'Today I learned that Scottish sheep are black.'

Mathematician - 'Today in Scotland we saw a sheep, at least one side of which is black.'
