does anyone know some good jokes involving mathematics? here's an example?

A down on his luck mathematician interviewed for a job as a fireman.  He was asked the question in his interview, "If there was a paper fire in a dumpster, how would you deal with it?"  The mathematician proceeded to describe how he'd get the fire hose and fill the dumpster with water, thereby extinguishing the fire.\n\nTwo weeks later, the fire company, with the mathematician as a new member, responded to a fire at a warehouse.  Arriving at the warehouse, they found a pallet of paper brochures on fire.  Quickly, the mathematician opened a warehouse door, grabbed a pallet jack, pushed the pallet into a dumpster outside the warehouse door, then grabbed a fire hose and fills the dumpster.\n\nThe fire chief was furious?  "What the heck you were doing?" he asked the mathematician.  The mathematician responded, "I simply re-expressed the problem in terms of a problem with a known solution."

good job!!   \nLet me see if I can get 10pts. from you!\n\nA professor wrote on the blackboard:  a woman withourt her man is nothing\n\nHe then asked the class to punctuate it.  \n\nThe guys wrote: "A woman, without her man, is nothing!"\nThe girls wrote: "A woman, without her, man is nothing!"

Ask Dr. Math is my favorite.  You can also try Mathworld, though I usually find that I leave it more confused than when I entered.

How about "Math -  Does it really add up?"

A rubber band pistol was confiscated from algebra class because it was a weapon of math disruption.  \n\n\nIf a priest is called a white collar worker, then a nun would be a creature of habit.\n\n\nThe riot at Macy's was called a shopping maul.\n\n\nUsing deodorant is no sweat.\n\n\nI wondered why the baseball was getting bigger. Then it hit me.  \n\n \nPolice were called to a daycare where a two-year-old was resisting a rest.   \n\n\nDid you hear about the guy whose whole left side was cut off? He's all right now.   \n\n\nHe drove his expensive car into a tree and found out how the Mercedes bends.   \n\n\nWhat did the grape say when it got stepped on? Nothing - but it let out a little whine.

here's a good one that isn't too short. \n\nA blonde and a brunette are watching the news, where a man is going to jump off a building. The brunette says "I betcha 10 euro that he'll jump". The blonde says "I betcha 10 euro that he won't". So they accept. \nThen the man jumps. The blonde starts to give the brunette the money when the brunette says "I can't take your money, i saw this on the 5 'o' clock news already". The blonde says "Yeah, I saw it too, I just didn't think he'd jump again"!!

Try analogy especially for math. Or do it with illustrations.

http://members.cox.net/mathmistakes/what_is_mathematics3.htm\n\n\nAfter an introductory chapter, Devlin has two chapters devoted to what psychologists know about how our brain does math. It follows that old genetics vs. environment argument; some of our math ability comes naturally, though the majority is learned.\n\nChapter 2 is devoted to fairly new ideas about our natural ability to do basic math such as counting. It seems from birth we have the ability to understand the difference between one, two, three, and many. Psychologists have confirmed this through rather clever testing of infants as young as four weeks old. \n\nFor example, one test involved showing babies a series of puppets going behind a curtain. The testers show the babies a couple of puppets going one at a time behind a curtain. The curtain is then lifted. If there are one or three puppets revealed behind the curtain, the babies will stare longer at the puppets than if there are only two puppets, which is what the baby expects. Babies stare longer at things that do not make sense to them, so when they see two puppets  go behind a curtain, they expect two puppets when the curtain is dropped.\n\nA basic inherent "number sense" is not just a human trait, it has been confirmed in mammals and birds as well. There is an old story about a bird that was nesting in a tower, and the owners of the tower wanted to get rid of it. When they sent someone into the tower to capture the bird, the bird would leave to a nearby tree and would not return to the tower until the man left. So they came up with a clever plan of sending two men into the tower, then soon after one man left, but the bird stayed in the tree and would not return to the tower until it saw both men leave: it saw two men enter, and it waited until both men were gone. They tried again with three, same thing. They tried with four, same thing. Finally, it got confused with five men entering the tower and four men leaving, the fifth man was able to capture the bird.\n\nI can attest to the fact that this number sense also exists in cats. I have a cat, and sometimes I give her some kitty treats just before I leave (this distracts her so I can go out without her darting outside). If I toss three treats on the floor with my cat watching, she will systematically go after all three treats. If I toss five, she will get three easily, then she has to sniff around and search for the others; she knows there are more than three. If she finds one, she may stop looking, because she lost track of how many I threw. \n\nSo the number sense is a naturally occurring ability of knowing one, two, three, and many. It is an instinct developed for survival. Many primitive human languages actually only have words for one, two, three, and many. Remnants of this can be found in English, like the ordinal numbers first, second, and third. Later ordinals fourth through twentieth all have identical endings, which makes the first three ordinals unique.

how does this fit into mathematics?

This seems like a sort of ridiculous thing to ask here. Why not just do a search for math trivia? Here is a link for example that I found right away.
