Q.E.D. is an initialism of the Latin phrase quod erat demonstrandum, meaning "which is what had to be proven". The phrase is traditionally placed in its abbreviated form at the end of a mathematical proof or philosophical argument when what was specified in the enunciation—and in the setting-out—has been exactly restated as the conclusion of the demonstration.
So: I manage to both amuse you and educate you at the same time!

That, in itself, amuses me.

(Because it's you, and I have supped at your table, there will be no charge.)
