So there was this... oh, no, you've heard that one, ten years ago.

But did you hear the one about... drat, you'll know that one too. :o)

This is the only one I know - I may have known others and blanked them out.
Barring trivial stuff involving squaws and hippopotami, of course...

Really, really convoluted, contrived and obscure ones. (Eg. "What third thing is yellow and equivalent to the axiom of choice? Tychonose's theorem!") But also "In Soviet Russia" ones.

*backs away slowly* ;)

Sorry, somehow that just came across as excessively excited, I know I can't talk :) And I was thrown by the 'i' into not seeing the obvious anagram; is that a typo, or an ending in a language I don't know?

It's a reference to the Banach-Tarski paradox.

Sorry, I did see that, it was the '-i' -- is that the end of 'tarski', I didn't realise that.

The version I know is "what's the canonical 24-letter anagram of 'Banach-Tarski'?" "Banach-Tarski-Banach-Tarski."

I sense a certain disagreement between myself and pretty much everyone else about, "In Soviet Russia...," jokes—I think Danger Mouse and Penfold sum up those best.

"It was just a joke DM."
"Yes, well. Only just."
