bad math jokes

…from one of my logwatch fortunes. Just had to share:

Q:     An English mathematician (I forgot who) was asked by his very religious colleague: Do you believe in one God?
A:     Yes, up to isomorphism!

Q:     What is a compact city?
A:     It’s a city that can be guarded by finitely many near-sighted policemen!
– Peter Lax

Did you hear about that constipated mathematician? He had to work it out with a pencil.
