I don't get it.

Gets out joke dissection scalpel.

I mean, I've figured out the mechanics of it: grapes are purple, abelian groups are commutative (thank you, Wikipedia). So an abelian grape would be something that is both purple and commutative.

But why is that a joke? Is it just because it's bizarre and unexpected? Or is it, like the meringue-outan a pun that is obvious to everyone except me?

I'm now sitting in a café muttering "abelian grape" over and over with different intonations, trying to get the pun. I suspect that the joke may be on me.

Edit. I've got it!

Its a pun abelian group vs abelian grape.

Hahahahaha

In fairness I only had a very superficial knowledge of Group Theory as my own area was more about analysis and "applied" maths, so barely knew what an Abelian group was and didn't quite see the point. These days I do see the importance of group theory to other areas even though it's not my thing. Have a book about Emmy Noether's work and it's profound importance to physics, but not yet read it.


Anyhow, back to bad jokes
