Sometimes, I tell jokes that require explanation. But now I’ve found a webpage full of jokes that require a college degree! Amy has pointed me towards “Let ε < 0“, which bills itself as “a site dedicated to mathematical funny business, flimflam, fallacies, and feghoots.”
It’s chock-full of jokes like the picture above, though most of the posts are actually text-based. I suspect that much of the academic humour has been floating around as emails, xeroxes and mimeographs for long, long times. Some of the humour is kind of dated. But if you imagine a crotchety old prof having a purple-hued mimeo thumbtacked to his wall, even the dustiest old humour could be hilarious.
