A theoretical physicist at interview

The Joke

A brown hair male theoretical physicist, named X, has applied for a position in a research institution. The time for the interview has come and the physicist is a bit anxious.

The scientific committee checks his CV, asks him some questions regarding his research and interests. The candidate has an excellent background, but the members of the committee seem to have a problem. One of them tells him

- Well, Dr X, you have a brilliant background, but we are looking for a blonde, female and experimental physicist.  How do you meet these criteria?

and Dr X replies after some thought,
- Hmm, I could negotiate the first two points, but definitely not the third.


Background

There is no math background here, but you should know what theoretical physicists think about experimentalists.

Maybe a funny example (bonus joke)
