Recently jokes only smart people will understand were circulating on the Internet. I came up with one, and posted it on Facebook but only two people commented. One said she didnt understand it. What does that say about my Facebook friends? Given the obviously high intelligence level on UHH Im sure everyone will find this hilarious.
Claudius Ptolemy and his girlfriend are going through a rocky period in their relationship. Finally after one of their increasingly frequent and contentious arguments the woman storms angrily out of the room saying: The trouble is you think the whole damn universe revolves around YOU.
With the namesake of an ancient astronomer/astrologer can he help but be self-centered both in realistic and surrealistic thinking? If he wants to get along with his gal, he should adopt this triad retort, "You're right, dear!"
Your joke doesn't require very much intelligence, other than understanding the basis of the geocentric theory and the fact that Ptolemy was a major proponent of this theory.
I liked it. Very clever in an understated way.
Doesn't require intelligence, it requires knowledge of past beliefs about how the universe is ordered.

Maybe they just didn't think it was very funny?

I'm gonna be truthful and say I wasn't sure, but I thought I knew, as it turned out I was correct.

Was he an argumentative agnostic, dyslexic theorist?
I don't think anyone commented because it's not really that funny...
It is an oldie but a goody.
