A theorem:

List all math jokes in order of length.

Assume there is a largest math joke, l.

Create a new math joke j by appending to l that joke about the pirate who has a wheel on his crotch that is "drivin' me nuts!"

J is now larger than l, which is a contradiction.

Therefore the set of math jokes is infinite.

Now,

Assume a good math joke, m.

If m is a good joke, then it is funny.

If a joke is funny then everyone will know it.

If everyone knows a joke, the joke will not be funny.

If a joke is not funny, then it is not a good joke.

Therefore, if m is a good joke, m is not a good joke.

By contradiction, there are no good math jokes.

Therefore:

There are infinitely many math jokes and none of them are good.

It follows trivially that writing jokes for a living is a bullshit job.
