Jokes from the Audience
I gave a short talk about my favorite math jokes at G4G15. G4G stands for the Gathering for Gardner, my favorite conference. Here is a joke about Heisenberg from my talk.

Heisenberg gets pulled over on the highway.
Cop: “Do you know how fast you were going, sir?”
Heisenberg: “No, but I know exactly where I am.”
After my talk, David Albert sent me a sequel to this joke.

—Did you hear about the mathematician who’s afraid of negative numbers?
—He’ll stop at nothing to avoid them.
This joke, too, got an awesome sequel from Jesse Lauzon.
