Another "classic"...
A neutron walks into a bar, asks for a beer, and is promptly served by the bartender.
"How much?" asks the neutron.
"For you?" replies the bartender, "no charge."

Found here:
A function (F) and a differentiation operator (D) meet somewhere in Hilbert space.
D: Make place or I differentiate you.
F: Forget it buster, I am e^x.
D: Well, I am d/dy.
