This one is a favorite of my sister.
In Russia before the revolution everyone was penniless, except the Tsar. Why is that?
He was Nicholas.
Finally, here we will prove a theorem. The theorem is that all horses have an infinite number of legs. To prove this theorem we will take as a lemma that all horses are of the same color. A lemma is a smaller result used to prove a larger result.
Proof: Take your average horse. It has two hind legs and forelegs. Together that makes six legs. Six is an even number, but it is an odd number of legs for a horse. The only other number that is both even and odd is infinity, so a horse has an infinite number of legs.
You may say that you can find a horse that doesn't have an infinite number of legs. But by the lemma -
that must be a horse of a different color!
