That's got to be worth more than 1 point.

Mathematician, Physicist, Engineer, and fence
A mathematician, a physicist, and an engineer are dropped off at a farm with the task of coming up with the a fence that will contain a flock of 100 sheep, using the least amount of wood necessary. The engineer hastily announces "A circle will use the least fence for a given area, so this is the best solution." The physicist agrees, and quickly draws out a circle of infinite radius around the sheep, before drawing the fence tighter around the sheep, until it won't constrict anymore. When she's finished, she announces "This will give the smallest circular fence around the herd."
When they look over at the mathematician, they see that he's surrounded himself with a tiny fence. He proudly announces, "The job's done. I define myself as being on the outside."

Our sons, they went to Israel...
A Jewish man notices his neighbor looks particularly glum today and asks what is wrong. His neighbor responds, "Oy, it's my son. He went off to Israel to study our culture, and he came back a Christian!"
The man nods, and says, "You know, it's a funny thing. The exact same thing happened to me! My son also went to Israel and came back a Christian."
The neighbour is surprised. "Wow, that's incredible! You too?"
"Yes," the man says. "I was thinking about going to talk to the Rabbi tomorrow, but this is an emergency! We should see him tonight!"
So they both go to see the rabbi. The two men tell the rabbi about their sons, and the rabbi is stunned, "You know, it's a funny thing. The exact same thing happened to me! My son went to Israel and came back a Christian!"
"Oy vey!" said the two men. "What can we do about this?"
"Well, I've been praying to God for guidance. Come, let us all together bring our concerns to Him together."
And so, the three of them pray together, when all of a sudden a booming voice calls out "What is it that you need to know, my children?"
"God," says the Rabbi. "You must help us. All three of us have had the strangest thing happen to us. Each of us sent our sons to Israel, and each of our sons came back Christians! What can we do about this?"
In reply from the heavens, the booming voice says, "You know, it's a funny thing..."
