Yesterday I asked a girl out, but she told me she had a boyfriend
I responded with "I have a math test tommorow"
She looked a bit confused so I said "I thought we were listing things we could cheat on."

And handed the rest of the world the blue print on how to successfully invade Mexico. Seize Vera Cruz, build up your supplies, and then it is a relatively short march to Mexico City.
Note that I said successfully invade. Not successfully take. Mexico is a large country with terrible terrain and while their military is usually a joke their citizenry is not.
Scott is probably the greatest US general no one talks about. He was brilliant in all aspects of war and considered, during his life time, as one of the premier generals in the world. If Scott had been 5 years younger at the start of the Civil War I doubt the affair would have gone past 6 months.

I really hope coronavirus can't spread through sex
It would be so lonely being the last man on Earth.
Einstein, Newton, and Pascal decide to play hide-and-seek. Einstein is "It," closes his eyes, counts to 10, and then opens them.
Pascal is nowhere to be seen. Newton is sitting right in front of Einstein, with a piece of chalk in his hand. He's sitting in a box drawn on the ground, a meter to one side.
Einstein says, "Newton, you're terrible, I've found you!"
Newton says, "No no, no. You've found one Newton per square meter. You've found Pascal!"
