Physicist's Advice

Alright, listen up, you big ol' dumb-dumb. This joke is all about a smarty-pants physicist, right? He sees a dude about to take a dive from the Empire State Building. Now, a normal person might say, "Think of your family!" or "Life is beautiful!" But this physicist, being a science nerd, says, "You have so much potential!" Get it? In physics, potential energy is, like, the energy an object has because of its position – like being way up high on a building. The higher you are, the more potential energy you got! But, you, you dense cabbage, also have 'potential' in life, meaning you can do great things. So, the joke is a play on those two meanings. It's a pun, you uncultured swine!
