A philosophy joke - real funny!

in #funny7 years ago

I think this joke is funny because it reveals the dilemma every philosopher has with the question ”why?” and ”how?”. When you ask ”why?” it opens up for an endless variation of answers depending on the perspective, so the philoposer will never come to an end conclusion.

Here is the joke:

A philosopher went into a closet for ten years to contemplate the question, What is life? When he came out, he went into the street and met an old colleague, who asked him where in heaven's name he had been all those years.
"In a closet," he replied. "I wanted to know what life really is."
"And have you found an answer?"
"Yes," he replied. "I think it can best be expressed by saying that life is like a bridge."
"That's all well and good," replied the colleague, "but can you be a little more explicit? Can you tell me how ans why life is like a bridge?"
"Oh," replied the philosopher after some thought, "maybe you're right; perhaps life is not like a bridge."
