I must admit your sounds better, as does Mike's, but I wrote it the way I was told it. The sense, as far as I'm aware, is the first atom being a 'positive' individual rather than questioning whether the electron has been lost.
I suppose it doesn't bode well when people dissect a joke to create something funnier. I'll try harder next week.

Two atoms walking down the street. One says, "I've lost an electron." The other says, "Are you positive?" (or am I missing something?) Simon Ward wrote:Two atoms walking down the street.
