Er...it was as funny as most of your jokes. (Warning: Stupid Math Jokes 1. Q: What's yellow and equivalent to the Axiom of Choice? A: Zorn's Lemon 2. Q: What is the integral of d(cabin)/cabin A: Houseboat (i.e. log cabin + C) 3. Q: What is the contour integral around Western Europe? A: Zero, because all the Poles are in Eastern Europe.
