[This comes from Car Talk's Lame Joke of the Week; the MIT tie-in
makes it more worth sharing than usual. quote:]
P.S. Here's this week's Lame Joke of the Week, courtesy of Chris
Felo and sent in honor of Tom and Ray's time at M.I.T.:
Three professors from Our Fair City go down to Mexico one night, get
arrested, and wake up in jail only to find out that they are to be
executed in the morning, although none of them can remember what
they did the night before.
The first one is strapped in the electric chair and is asked if he has
any last words. He says, "I am from the Harvard School of Divinity and
I believe in the almighty power of God to intervene on behalf of the
innocent."
They throw the switch and nothing happens, so they figure God must
not want this guy to die and they let him go.
The second one is strapped in and gives his last words, "I am from
the Harvard School of Law and I believe in the power of justice to
intervene on the part of the innocent."
They throw the switch and again nothing happens. They figure that
the law is on this guy's side, so they let him go, too.
The last one is strapped in and says, "Well, I'm from MIT, and I'll tell
you right now you ain't gonna electrocute nobody if you don't connect
them two wires!"
