And to think some folks perceive physicists as lacking a sense
of humor...

Johnson (n., [vulgar slang]) A euphemism for penis.
joke (n. [L. jocus]) 1. Anything said or done to arouse laughter,
   as a humorous anecdote  2. a thing done or said merely in fun

(steadfastly resisting any temptation to attempt humorous comment
on "Brownian motion")
