A physicist, a biologist and a chemist go to the beach one sunny day. Once there, the physicist looks out at the ocean and says, "Wow, what an excellent opportunity to study wave mechanics!". He heads out in to the water, gets caught in a rip tide and promptly drowns.
the Biologist looks out at the ocean and says, "Wow, what an excellent opportunity to study the under water ecosystem!" The biologist also wades out into the water and drowns.
The chemist sees this, thinks for a moment, then pulls out his notebook and writes "Physicists and Biologists are soluble in water"
