Heard a math or related joke? Perhaps it has hidden instructive properties? Perhaps not?
Here is one that is just arithmetic (rounding), but appears scientifically worded. I do not know its origins. It was forwarded to me a few years ago:
2 + 2 = 5, for very large values of 2.
Let's hear your favorite joke. It couldn't be worse. :-)
Students became somewhat crazy from studying too much math. One of them runs around and threatens: "I am going to integrate you! I am going to differentiate you! " The room became empty, except for 1 student.
"How come you are not afraid?"
" I am an exponential function!"

A Dozen, a Gross and a Score,
plus three times the square root of four,
divided by seven,
plus five times eleven,
equals nine squared and not a bit more.
Math examination:
Professor asks what is 3*3?
Student: 10
students around: give him a chance, give him a chance!
Student: 8
students around: give him a chance, give him a chance!
Student: 9
students around: give him a chance, give him a chance!
People in a dirigable high in the air ask people on the ground: "Where are we?"
"You are in the dirigible," the answer was.
"They are mathematicians," said one person in the dirigible.
"Why?"
"Because their answer was absolutely precise, but absolutely useless!"

I heard such a joke about mathematicians.
An infinite number of mathematicians enter a bar. The first says: "I want 1 beer". The 2nd: "I want ½ beer". The third: "I want ¼ beer"…
The barman says: "I know your jokes: you want just 2 beer for all".
