As I'm sure you've all worked out by now, I really like making dumb jokes. Unfortunately, I can end up spending so much time on jokes that I don't end up having time for math. My solution to this problem has been to write math papers which are based off of jokes. Somehow I've managed to do this 5 times, and in this talk I will briefly discuss all of these joke papers. No prior knowledge of jokes or any sense of humor will be assumed.
