If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons?
What’s so funny about this? This joke reminds me of an old song that begins with a riddle, “If tin whistles are made of tin, what are fog horns made of?” The song is entitled, “Does your chewing gum lose its flavor on the bedpost overnight?. Of course, neither of these questions has a possible answer, and even if they did, who would care? The fun is in posing the questions. The same is true of today’s joke. It, like the other two examples, serves to highlight the inconsistency and irrationality of the English language, something I love to do and hopefully you do too. English has so many rules and exceptions to them that it almost, but not quite, makes no sense to learn them As a student of English you just have to accept the flexibility of the language and not expect it to be rational. Some minds are more capable of this acceptance than others. One could assume after reading the first part of the expression that the word “electricity” and “electron” may well be related, which they are. However, just as with similar sounding words in various languages, it’s possible to have “false cognates” within the English language itself. Just because two words begin with the same few letters is no guarantee that they are related. So just because morality and moron both begin with the letters M,O, and R, and end in OR it does not necessarily follow that they share a common root. In fact, they do not, except that they both originated from Latin. One is about acceptable behavior by a “normal” person and the other is about someone with arrested development. But so what? It’s a fair question and one the teacher clearly cannot answer. And THAT’s what’s so funny!

Electric flux, property of an electric field that may be thought of as the number of electric lines of force (or electric field lines) that intersect a given area. ... The negative flux just equals in magnitude the positive flux, so that the net, or total, electric flux is zero.
