I wonder if they have an equivalent one for mathematicians. Maybe not... there's that old (and very sexist) joke about how they asked a psychologist, a philosopher, and a mathematician if it was better to have a wife or a mistress, and the psychologist went on about how marriage brings stability, so it's better to have a wife, the philosopher went on about freedom and the separation from externally imposed boundaries and conditions in favor of a situation of your own choosing and thus, a mistress was better, and the mathematician said "both. That way when your wife thinks you're with your mistress, and your mistress thinks you're with your wife, you can get some mathematics done!"
