"Q. What's green and commutes?
A. An abelian grape"
Mmhmm.
What's green and commutes, and is worshipped by a limited number of people? A finitely-venerated abelian grape.
What's green and had all of its children involuntarily committed? A simple grape -- it has no proper, normal subgrapes.
- gjm11 17y agoA friend of mine, in view of the joke above and the (more famous?) one about Zorn's Lemon, decided to attempt to classify all mathematical fruit jokes. I believe he found only one other; unfortunately it depends on more specialized knowledge than the other two. "What's green and determined up to isomorphism by its first Chern class? A lime bundle." Curiously, I think I have never before heard the abelian grape joke told with a green rather than purple grape.
- argv_empty 17y agoSame, I've always heard purple. From there, you get: What's lavender and commutes? An abelian semigrape.
