Ooh...Jokes

I liked this one...

Big party; every possible function is having fun, chatting and drinking
this evening.
In an n-dimensional corner e^x stands bitter and alone. Near the lonely
one there's a small group of exponential functions, and 2^x within them
turns to see e^x in its corner.
"Hey, e^x, come on, integrate yourself!" said 2^x, pointing to the group.
"What for?" Whispers e^x, "It makes no difference."

Jesus and his disciples were walking around one day, when Jesus said, "The
Kingdom of Heaven is like 3x squared plus 8x minus 9." The disciples
looked very puzzled, and finally asked Peter, "What on earth does Jesus
mean - the Kingdom of Heaven is like 3x squared plus 8x minus 9? Peter
said, "Don't worry. It's just another one of his parabolas."

is it bad to have just both understood them, and then laughed lots (especially at the first one) ?

What do you get if you cross a pig with a dog?

Magnitude of pig times magnitude of dog sine the angle between them.

I am definitely telling these jokes to mathmos at work.

I have a theory that if you walk into a room and tell one of these, you can tell who has done higher maths by the reaction: Do they look at you as if you a mad? Yes? Not done higher maths then.

There is also the integral of 1 over cabin (Log Cabin) but I have not yet managed to get that into a joke yet.
