That's a fragment of a blonde joke that got disconnected and
attached itself to this one.

The point about the one I told is that it is killingly funny if
you have had many dealings with seriously pure mathematicians,
such as exist in universities like Cambridge, Warwick and so on.
If you haven't, it falls very flat.

Yes, they really DO behave like that! I was never as extreme
