i wish we had maths jokes like that in my textbooks. we get appaling copouts like (summarised to be succinct)
There are three cavemen all trying to cook some rhino meat. there are three pots, all on different steps up a mountain. one of them wants to use the top one, but the other caveman is already cooking his rhino there.
The first cavemen says... High-pot-in-use.
Hypotenuse. Except it took an entire page of a textbook to choke out this gem

i love mathematicians
