Well if we're doing maths jokes, albeit likely done before...
What's Benoit B Mandelbrot's middle initial stand for
Benoit B Mandelbrot of course !
------
Physicist's proof that all odd numbers are prim
Three's prime, five's prime, seven's prime, nine -we'll put that one down as experimental error, eleven's prime. What more so you want?

I know a similar story which I'm assured is true by the Gardener concerned. A fairly wealthy homeowner he knew had agreed to pay for a fairly substantial amount of work and then refused when the work was done. After a fair amount of arguing, he asked if he could take some cherries from the largeish tree on the front garden as payment. The homeowner agreed, and he made a contract for "cherries from the tree on the front garden" which the homeownwer signed, telling him to then take the cherries and leave.
The gardener then cut the tree down and dragged it into his trailer before the homeowner realised what he'd signed, and drove off with the entire tree.

I'm no mathematician, but I do love the Benoit joke.

I'd had to look up who he (?) was before I understood it.

I only know because I'm a fractals nerd! The maths is totally beyond me, but they are very cool things.

A former boss told me a story from his village. A guy had got a contractor to lay a drive but afterwards was witholding payment due to various petty quibbles. The builder got fed up with this and turned up with a digger and took the drive away. He never got his money, but the customer, who was apparently well known in the village for being a general pain, had a pile of mud left instead of a drive, to everyone else's great amusement

Yebbutt when you look at the images from the ground penetrating radar, are you really claiming the ancient Egyptians could have built the underground parts too
