I found this online somewhere. I think it's funny :)
Top ten methods of proof in Calculus
1. Proof by general agreement: "All in favor?..."
2. Proof by intimadation: "Don't be stupid, of course it's true."
3. Proof by accident: Hey, what do we have here?"
4. Proof by insingnificance: "Who really cares anyway?"
5. Proof by Calculus: "this proof requires calculus, so we'll skip it"
6. Proof by hasty generalizations: "Well, it works for 17, so it works for all reals"
7. Proof by lack of interest: "Does anyone really want to see this?"
8. Proof by deception: "Ok, now everyone turn your backs..."
9. Proff by tessellation: "this proof is just the same as the last one."
10. Proof by A.F.K.T theorem: " Any Fool Knows That"

Hehe!! I knew a prof just like that. His favorite was "Proof by slight-of-hand: "...now substituting the left-hand formula for these random mix of unrelated variables and operators...."

Sounds like my last tax audit. That drove me to the LIMITS of sanity as well.

No, I guess you'd have to be into math to find that amusing.
