Math joke: 3 squaws (Indian wives, sorry not very PC but you'll see why) were bragging about how talented their husbands were. All three were pregnant and the tradition was that the husband got a new 'fur' blanket (hide) for each new baby. The first squaw's husband got her a deer hide for her new baby boy and was bragging to the other two. So the second squaw forced her husband to seek out and kill a Grizzly bear for it's hide for her new baby girl. This caused the third squaw to nag her husband for something more exotic, as she delivered twins, a boy and a girl. So he traveled far and wide and brought back a hippopotamus hide.
Which shows that the sum of the squaw of the hippopotamus is equal to the sum of the squaws of the other two hides.

Only funny if you know the Pythagorian theorum.
