Jokes as Math Proofs

Proof 1: The Existence of Sarcasm in the Universe

The probability of a joke being funny is directly proportional to the inverse of the listener's understanding of mathematics.

Assume a joke has a funny-ness constant, "C", and a listener's math-aptitude constant, "M". Then, the probability of the joke being funny is given by:

Joke Funny-ness Equation

Where "∫" denotes the integral of the listener's facepalms over the domain of all possible punchlines.
