"A Ferengi gets stuck in a turbolift, but the Enterprise’s engineering team cannot reach it from their position. Miraculously the turbolift starts to move, and when the lift opens up, the engineering team ask: “How did you get it going again?”
Answer
The Ferengi was also an engineer
Or “A Vulcan diplomat is given the nicest quarters on the Starbase, but complains that they are too small.”
Answer
The Vulcan lied.
Or "Turkana IV colonists steal a weapons shipment, in preparation for their civil war but never use the fancy weapons. How come?"
Answer
Are you kidding? A Turkana colonist wouldn’t piss on fire to save his own mother.
Or "A Klingon, a Vulcan, and a Romulan walk into a Ferengi bar but none of them order a drink, how come?"
Answer
The Vulcan doesn’t drink, and neither the Klingon nor the Romulan had any Latinum
