I'll have to 3rd MathWorld, but I'm hoping with the brains on CP, this forum will give them a run for their money.

Blonde Geometry
Attached is problem 3 on a geometry examination. It is the solution submitted by a beautiful blonde student. It is our understanding that after careful scrutiny, the student was given credit for the answer by the teacher. When hearing of this the Board of Education warned math teachers to be more explicit in the wording of examination problems but was hesitant to suggest how.
Blonde cuts to the chase to find the X and eliminates all Geometry formulas.

And math[^] and here[^].
My all-time favorite: The sum of the square roots of any two sides of an isosceles triangle is equal to the square root of the remaining side. That's a right triangle you idiot. D'oh!

The Flood is over and the ark has landed. Noah lets all the animals out and says, "Go forth and multiply."
A few months later, Noah decides to take a stroll and see how the animals are doing. Everywhere he looks he finds baby animals. Everyone is doing fine except for one pair of little snakes. "What's the problem?" says Noah.
"Cut down some trees and let us live there", say the snakes.
Noah follows their advice. Several more weeks pass. Noah checks on the snakes again. Lots of little snakes, everybody is happy. Noah asks, "Want to tell me how the trees helped?"
"Certainly", say the snakes. "We're adders, so we need logs to multiply

How many mathematicians does it take to change a light bulb?
- None. It's left to the reader as an exercise.
- None. The answer is intuitively obvious.
- One. He gives it to four programmers, thereby simplifying the problem to a previous question.
How many numerical analysts does it take to change a light bulb?
- 3.9967 (after six iterations).
How many mathematical logicians does it take to change a light bulb?
- None. They can't do it, but they can easily prove that it can be done.
How many classical geometers does it take to change a light bulb?
- None. You can't do it with a straight edge and a compass.
How many analysts does it take to change a light bulb?
- Three. One to prove existence, one to prove uniqueness and one to derive a nonconstructive algorithm to do it.
How many number theorists does it take to change a light bulb?
- I don't know the exact number, but I am sure it must be some rather elegant prime.

What's the difference between an introverted and an extroverted mathematician?
Well, the extroverted looks, while talking, on YOUR shoes! 
If you let choose a mathematician between a bread roll and eternal blissfulness, what does he take?
The bread roll of course! Nothing is better than eternal blissfulness - and a bread roll is better than nothing.
A man has married a female mathematician. He comes home, gives her bunch of roses and says "I love you!"
She takes the roses, throws them on the floor and kicks him out of their residence. What has he done wrong?
He should had said: "I love you, and only you!"
How many mathematicians do you need to change a light bulb?
- Just one, but 400 apply for the job
