On a scale of 1 to 10, it's about 0.5.

a really unfunny joke is like a (Super) [dry joke] -- by virtue of
its dryness, it acquires an attractive quality.

(a special case of irony)

Drei Bier?

For the last 40(?) years, a very popular brand of Beer in japan
is Asahi ["Super Dry"] beer.

an apparel and bag maker in the UK copied it,
and last year (?) there was a humorous twist because
these brazen copycat Brits tried to sue the original people.

I Dutch and German, certain native words do not get a plural form with
non-unity numeral. 10 meter (not 'meters'), 6 kilo(gram), 100 m2
(vierkante meter), 1 atmosfeer, 10 atmosfeer/bar/pascal, etc. 15 kW,
kilowatt. But '20 graden' (not 'graad'), etc.

Why? I don't know. Just a convertion. Language is a collection of
habit, of old traditions.

The first two don't say no, but can't say yes because they don't know
the choice of the other two logicians. The third one has complete
knowledge from the other replies.

No, still not clear. Where did these rules ("can't say yes, because...")
come from? Is the joke about the barman asking all three as a group, but
them having to answer as individuals? And they're not allowed to consult
before answering collectively? Maybe a joke about logicians'
indifference to social reality?

| = or, & = and.
In C: | is bitwise or, || is logical or, etc.

Sometimes other symbols are used, V for OR and something like an
uppercase Greek lambda for AND. Or the other way round. No, I
remembered correctly:
https://unicode.org/charts/PDF/U2200.pdf
symbols 2227 and 2228.

It uses the "|" character to indicate Boolean "or".

Presumably this is derived from the "|" operator in the C programming
language, where it is used for a bit-wise "or" operation.

But for that to work, the first two replies would have to be equivalent to
a 'yes', otherwise they express no choice and hence the third guy is not
any more informed than the first two.

(Maybe you're thinking that if one of them meant 'no', they could have said
'no', because the maximum amount then possible would be 2. But that
requires further assumptions - that they all knew what they wanted, that
each one only wanted one drink, and more importantly that each one - or at
least the third - knew those two facts about the other two.)

This one reminds me of one I heard years ago.

A mathematician, a physicist, and an engineer were travelling through
Scotland when they saw a black sheep through the window of the train.

"Aha," says the engineer, "I see that Scottish sheep are black."

"Hmm," says the physicist, "You mean that some Scottish sheep are black."

"No," says the mathematician, "All we know is that there is at least one
sheep in Scotland, and that it is black on at least one side."

The sheep joke that immediately springs to my mind is both racist and
tasteless, so I'll give you a different joke.

A medico, an engineer, and a lawyer were arguing over which was the
oldest profession.

"The Bible tells us that God took one of Adam's ribs to make a woman",
said the doctor. "That's a medical procedure."

"Yes", said the engineer. "But before that, God produced order out of
chaos. That's an engineering job."

"Ah", said the lawyer. "But who produced the chaos?"

The punchline as I heard^read it was 'In Scotland there is at least one
field in which there is at least one sheep at least one /side/ of which is
black'

For some reason, this reminded me of the waitress walking by a table
with three fellows talking.

The first fellow says "I think it's spelled "Woom".
The second says "No... it's more likely "whoom".
The third says "I'm pretty sure it's "whoomb".

The waitress leans over and says "Gentlemen, it's definitely "womb".

The three fellow glance around at each other, then one turns to the
waitress and says "Well, I'm almost certain that you've never heard an
elephant fart!"

True but irrelevant.

~0 & ~0 & 1 = 1 is the boolean logic that applies.
