An infinite number of mathematicians walked into a bar. I'll have a beer, the first one said. I'll have half as much beer as the first mathematician said the second. I'll have half as much beer as the second mathematician said the third. The bartender looked at all of them, said you guys are jerks, and served them two beers.

A countably infinite number of mathematicians walk into a bar. The first mathematician orders a beer. The second orders half a beer. The third orders one third of a beer. The bartender says "whoa, I'm going to run out of beer!".

An uncountably infinite number of mathematicians walk into a bar. The first mathematician orders no beer. The second orders no beer. The third orders no beer. The bartender says "whoa, I'm going to run out of beer!".
