Not an electrician joke but still might bring a smile.
A doctor had built a new, large house and was having a "house warming party" with lots of guests. About midnight the toilet became blocked. His wife said to him: "Call the plumber." Her husband said;"I can't do that its far too late!"
She responded; "But if his children were sick he'd expect you to come to his house in the middle of the night!". So the doctor rang the plumber and asked him to come and fix the toilet. The irate Plumber said: "Do you know what time it is? Its after midnight!". The doctor explained that he would come to see the plumber's children if they were ill. Well, the plumber saw the logic in that and said: "Okay" and that he'd be around straight away.
15 minutes later the plumber arrived and was shown the blocked toilet.
He threw two aspirin (paracetamol, ibuprofen...etc your analgesic of choice) in, flushed it and said:
"If its not better in the morning call me again!"
Another of Murphy's Laws of electronics e.g a wire cut to size will always be short.

In construction, whenever I get a shock from touching the wires of outlet, (almost always work with the power on), I tell the owners that it 'keeps me current'.
Two atoms are walking down the street. One suddenly stops and says "Oh crap! We have to go back! I dropped an electron."
The other atoms says "Are you sure?"
First atom replies "Yes, I'm positive."

.22 rounds make good 3AG size fuses. When the round gets hot due to an overcurrent condition, the powder ignites, the round shoots itself apart, and that breaks the circuit. Works like a charm!
