For one of my favorite math jokes you need to understand a little about the use of logarithms in doing arithmetic:

After creating them, God told all the creatures to go forth, be fruitful, and multiply. All the animals dispersed except for two little snakes, who were looking very sad. Adam asked them why they were sad. “We’re adders,” the snakes replied. “We can’t multiply.” Adam thought for a minute, took his little hatchet, chopped down a couple of small trees, constructed a table, and presented it to the snakes. “Here’s a log table,” he said. “Now you can multiply.”
