Three Laws of Thermodynamics (paraphrased):
First Law:  You can't get anything without working for it.
Second Law: The most you can accomplish by work is to break even.
Third Law:  You can't break even.
 
A Riddle... What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object?
           Answer: It depends. Is the force elastic or inelastic?
 
Here are some physics puns... they're very punny!
