Sheep Joke

SashaQ writes: Here is a sheep at the RSPB Sheep Farm that is all white except for one patch of black fur on its leg. It reminds me of the classic joke that goes something like this:

An engineer, a physicist and a mathematician are on a train, and see a sheep in a field. The engineer says: 'The sheep in that field are white.' The physicist says: 'No - all we can say is that there is at least one white sheep in that field.' The mathematician says: 'No - all we can say is that there is at least one sheep in that field, at least half of which is white!'
