A: "80% of us will be kicked out of this field some day."
B: "Well, that number's not so bad...."

That and the ridiculous stuff we make up to procrastinate on Jackson integrals.

I don't think it's as entertaining as stuff we undergrad(especially freshman) say.

Thanks for resurrecting this post. I've been gathering some good ones I've heard around the department. To share a few:

A: Whatever, pi is basically one.

A: I've got the answer, except I'm off by a factor of 2 or so.
....
A: Make that 2^17.

And perhaps the best quote ever:

A: Vet school? That's just farmyard animal decomposition!
B: Don't forget: Bessel functions for cows, Legendre's for pigs.
