Two chemists, Dr. Lewis and Dr. Carter, walked into their favorite bar after a long day at the lab. They often joked about chemistry, challenging each other with clever wordplay. Feeling particularly witty, Dr. Lewis decided to order in a scientific manner.
“I will have some H₂O,” he said, smirking.
Not wanting to be outdone, Dr. Carter confidently replied, “I will have some H₂O too.”
The bartender, overhearing the order, raised an eyebrow but served them both. Dr. Lewis enjoyed his refreshing drink, but within moments, Dr. Carter clutched his throat and collapsed.
Explanation: This joke is a dark chemistry pun based on the difference between H₂O (water) and H₂O₂ (hydrogen peroxide). When Dr. Carter says “H₂O too,” it sounds like he’s ordering “H₂O₂,” which is toxic to drink. The humor comes from the scientific wordplay and the grim twist at the end!
