Collection of some of my favorite Gauss jokes.

Gauss never has an underfull hbox (badness 10000) warning.
When Gauss integrates he doesn't need to add a constant.
Fermat once made Gauss angry. The result…Fermat's Last Theorem.
When Gauss tells you that he's lying, he's telling the truth.
It only takes Gauss 4 minutes to sing “Aleph-Null Bottles of Beer on the Wall”.
Imaginary numbers are simply those that Gauss has not deemed worthy of existence.
There are no Fermat Primes greater than 65,537 because Gauss saw that Fermat was on to something, and well…he put an end to that.
Only Gauss knows whether Schrodinger's cat is dead or alive.
Gauss can let epsilon be less than zero.
Gauss shaves both himself and Bertrand Russell.
Gauss can walk through Konigsberg crossing its bridges once and only once
Gauss can comb Poincaré's hairy balls
Gauss knows Alice and Bob's shared secret.
As a child, Gauss was instructed to sum the numbers from 1 to 100. He did this by summing the infinite series and then subtracting off every integer greater than 100, one by one, in his head.
Gauss once proved an axiom, but he didn't like it. So he disproved it.
