Folks,

Are many of you familiar with Doctor Who, the durable sci-fi series from the BBC? One of the repeating gags of the show is that his ship, the Tardis (Time And Relative Dimensions In Space) is a police phone booth that is bigger on the inside than on the outside, and in fact transforms periodically, and has many chambers, hallways, even a swimming pool on one level, supposedly.

So, you can see how it might fit into the realm of fractals, right?

So, here is a template fractal joke for you:
Benoit Mandelbrot and (MC Escher for example) walk into the Tardis, turn to each other and say ...

Some possible punchlines might be:
"This sure feels like home"
"Did I hear a Peano?"
"I knew this is what my heaven would be like"

Okay, maybe not so much of a joke, but I bet I got a smile out of some of you, and that's all I require.
Maybe it will inspire somebody else. Iterate as you wish.
