The classical Stokes formula $\int_{\partial\Omega}\omega=\int_\Omega d\omega$ is certainly a Littlewood type joke. That is especially true if you learn it after you've spent a few months covering vector calculus, learned rotor, divergence, path and surface integrals of 2 kinds, etc., which is the standard route to follow.
