A bloke walks into a pub, and asks for a pint of Adenosinetriphosphate. The barman says That’ll be 80p [ATP]!”

A biologist had been working on a remote research project in the Amazon jungle. Upon his return to the States, he came down with a terrible illness. After his health had deteriorated, his wife took him to a doctor who specialized in strange jungle diseases. The doctor gave him a complete examination and a series of tests. After receiving the results of the tests, the doctor called the wife into his office alone. He told the young biologist’s wife, “Your husband is suffering from a very severe disease, combined with horrible stress. If you don’t do the following, your husband will surely die.” “Each morning, fix him a healthy breakfast. Be pleasant, and make sure he is in a good mood. For lunch make him a nutritious meal. For dinner prepare an especially nice meal for him. Don’t burden him with chores, and generally do anything he asks. Don’t discuss your problems with him, as it will only make his stress worse. And most importantly, make love with your husband several times a week and satisfy his every whim. ” If you can do this for the next 10 months or so, I think your husband will regain his health completely. Otherwise…….well… He’ll probably die” On the way home, the husband asked his wife. “What did the doctor say?” she replied. “Honey…..he says you’re probably going to die.”

A biologist from the North Pole was showing a new recruit the ropes of a polar bear radio tracking program. The new recruit said, “I know how the transmitters work, but I have one question–how do you catch the polar bears in the first place?” “I bet you use high-powered tranquilizer dart guns, right?” “Oh no!” the experienced biologist replied, “we use an ancient Eskimo technique, developed centuries ago. First, we dig a huge hole in the ice. Next, we place a circle of green peas all the way around the hole. Then, we go hide behind some ice blocks and wait. Finally, when a polar bear comes up to take a pea, we kick him in the ice-hole !!!”

There were these two Engineers who decided they would go moose hunting in the backwoods of British Columbia. As it happened, they lucked out and got a moose. Unfortunately, they were about a mile from their truck. They were having a tough time dragging the animal by the hind legs when a Wildlife Biologist happened upon them. He said, “You know, the hair follicles on a moose have a grain to them that causes the hair to lie toward the back. The way you are dragging that moose, it increases your coefficient of friction by a huge margin. If you grab it by the antlers and pull, you will find the work required to be quite minimal.” The Engineers thanked him and started dragging the moose by the antlers. After about an hour, one Engineer said, “I can’t believe how easy it is to move this moose this way. I sure am glad we ran across that Biologist.” “Yeah.”, said the other. “But we’ re getting further and further away from our truck.”

A wildlife biologist is working in the woods, miles from the nearest town. He’s camped alone with his dog and cat as his companions. Suddenly, an old gentleman carrying a small limp dog, franticly runs into his camp. “Please, please help me! I think something has happened to Willie. Our Winnebago is parked just around the bend and we’ve seen you camped here. We didn’t know what to do. We thought of you because we had seen all this scientific equipment laying around here. Can you help him?” ” Sir, I’m not a vet, I’m a wildlife biologist,” the young biologist told the worried man. “Can you please just have a look at him, I’ll pay you anything you need. I just need to know. If he’s still alive, maybe I can rush him into town.” “Ok, put him here on the table.” The young biologist looks the limp dog over, but its plain that the dog is dead,, no pulse or signs of breathing. “I’m sorry sir, but I’m afraid poor Willie is dead.” “No, I can’t believe that….. It can’t be true…are you sure?” “Yes, I’m quite sure.” “I just can’t believe that….With all this equipment, isn’t there something you can do? I must be absolutely sure.” The biologist called his big yellow cat over to the table. The cat walked around the dead dog, occasionally sniffing at the carcass. He then looks up at the biologist and let out a few weak meows. “Well, the cat say he’s dead. Does that assure you?” “No, I need more than that…Do you have anything else?” The biologist calls over his big black dog. The dog circles the body a few times, sniffing it every now and then. After a few moments, the dog barks at the biologist. “Well, now the dog says he’s dead. That’s all I can do for you sir.” “OK, well I guess its true. I’ll take him back and bury him…How much do I owe you?” “It’ll be $650 bucks.” The biologist tells the old man. “What??”, replied the old man, “How can you charge that much??!!” “Well sir, I could have told you he was dead for only a dollar, but you’re the one that insisted on the cat scan and the lab tests!”

A University had advertised for two biologists to help in their mammalogy department, specifically with a group of captive grizzly bears. They had only two applicants – a beautiful young women biologist and an older male biologist. The mammalogist in charge of the project knew that not everyone can handle working with such fierce creatures so he decided to test their skills with the bears. The two hopefuls followed him out to the bear pen. He first asked the young women to show him what she could do. She entered the cage, stripped down to her bikini, and the largest bear walked up and nuzzled her bare legs. The astonished mammalogist then said to the old man, “Can you do that?” “You’re darn right I can,” said the old man, “just get that bear out of there first !”
