The Infinite Badness Theorem

This is mathematical proof at its finest - using the same logical rigor that builds calculus to conclusively demonstrate what every math teacher secretly knows: math jokes are simultaneously infinite and terrible.

The first proof uses the classic infinity-by-contradiction approach (hello, Cantor's diagonalization!) to show there are infinitely many math jokes. The second proof is a masterpiece of circular logic that traps "good math jokes" in an inescapable paradox - if people know them, they're not funny; if they're not funny, they're not good.

The conclusion? An infinite supply of jokes, all equally bad. Which, frankly, explains why mathematicians keep recycling the same π jokes at department parties.
