Joe mentions he used to be a physicist and how Erlang contributed to the discovery of the Higgs Boson. I heard him tell this joke more than once (we were colleagues): "Higgs boson walks into a church, and the priest says, 'I'm sorry we don't allow Higgs bosons to come to churches.'And [the Higgs] says, 'But without me, you can't have mass.'"
