First, the bad short joke:

 

You can't explain puns to kleptomaniacs. They always take things literally.

 

And the bonus is a math limerick I learned back in my high school algebra class.

 

latex.php?latex=%5Cdisplaystyle+%5Cfrac%7B12+%2B+144+%2B+20+%2B+3+%5Csqrt%7B4%7D%7D%7B7%7D+%2B+%5Cleft+%28+5+%5Ctimes+11+%5Cright+%29+%3D+9%5E%7B2%7D+%2B+0+&bg=ffffff&fg=000&s=0

 

A dozen, a gross, a score

plus three time the square root of four

divided by seven

plus five times eleven

is nine squared -- not a bit more.

 

If you do the math correctly, you find that the equation is true.
