Who is the largest knight at the round table? Sir Cumference! How did he get so big? He ate too much pi!
The first part of the joke relates to the round table (which we're assuming has the shape of a circle) and the similarity of the sounds of circumference (the distance around a circle) and Sir Cumference (a rather portly knight). Sir Cumference became so round by eating too much pi (the homonym of the most delicious pie!). The mathematical pi is used in the calculation of the circumference of a circle. Allowing this joke to come full circle!
