Sample joke:
Math saves lives
A math professor was explaining a particularly complicated calculus concept to his class when a frustrated pre-med student interrupts him. "Why do we have to learn this stuff?" the pre-med blurts out.
The professor pauses, and answers matter-of-factly: "Because math saves lives."
"How?" demanded the student. "How on Earth does calculus save lives?"
"Because," replied the professor, "it keeps certain people out of medical school."
Heh... OK - one more:
The copy machine
A mathematician, down on his luck, takes a job as a photocopier repairman. After his first day on the job, receives an irate call from one of his customers.
"The copy machine is still broken! It prints out each of my memos on a loop of paper with a half twist! What did I do?"
"Ah," says the mathematician. "You must have set it to Single Sided Copy..."
