1. I'm Not Rudolph; That's Not My Nose
|
||
|
||
A warm June evening. Belinda and I are curled up on my sofa, getting quite
|
||
intimate. I stroke her belly. "Belinda, you know, it feels like love,"
|
||
I say.
|
||
Her hand on my crotch, she squeezes my erection. "sure feels like something all right."
|
||
"MMmm" I agree. We're both getting pretty aroused. I can feel her
|
||
wetness as I move my hand from her belly down to her vulva, caressing its
|
||
velvety softness, juicy and wet.
|
||
She moans. "Do you have a rubber?" she asks.
|
||
"Umm, yes," I say. "Since we have just barely met and don't know each
|
||
other's sexual history, a condom would be a good idea."
|
||
"Let's make some history," she says, as I free my erection and unroll a
|
||
condom over it.
|
||
"Absolutely," We kiss passionately as I lean over her, caressing her
|
||
breasts. "Wait a minute," I say. "Don't forget that as we kiss, we're sharing
|
||
bodily fluids."
|
||
"Ummm, I guess that's right," she says. "But does it matter, since neither
|
||
of us have open sores or wounds in our mouths?"
|
||
"New evidence reveals that direct contact to blood may not be necessary
|
||
for transmission. Just to be on the safe side, we should both be wearing
|
||
dental dams."
|
||
"Oh, all right."
|
||
From the drawer in the table by the sofa, I take a couple of dental
|
||
dams. I put one on myself, help her fit the other one over her lips and
|
||
tongue.
|
||
We exchange rubbery kisses, getting back in the mood. My hand meanders
|
||
down across her ass, caressing her cheeks, then back to her vagina.
|
||
"MMM," she moans. And then (putting her dental dam aside for a momment),
|
||
"But don't forget, my vagina is also a copious source of bodlily fluids."
|
||
"Oo an ay at again," I agree, continuing.
|
||
"I'm serious," she says. "Don't you think you should be wearing gloves?"
|
||
"Oo're obably ight," I agree, taking two pairs of rubber gloves from
|
||
the drawer in the table. We slip them on with sensuous snaps. The rubber
|
||
makes for an interesting sensation, stroking her nipples. They agree,
|
||
standing at perky attention.
|
||
Finally, I lay her gently down on the sofa. Astride her, I slip my
|
||
fiercely throbbing member into her waiting eager vagina. We rock and roll,
|
||
pause and slow, harpoon, fish and hammer. Our simultaneous climax rolls
|
||
over us both like a breaking wave, her vagina squeezing my penis in an
|
||
affectionate handshake of love. Gratefully, both covered with sweat, we
|
||
collapse together. We take off various rubber items and throw them aside.
|
||
I realize something. "Hey! Do you realize perspiration is a bodily
|
||
fluid also?!?" I tell her.
|
||
"Ahhh ..."
|
||
"I could be hopelessly contaminated right now! God knows how many AIDS
|
||
viruses are boiling out of your pores! And into mine!"
|
||
"Don't be silly."
|
||
Irritated at her irresponsible attitude towards disease prevention, I
|
||
roll away, stand up, and get my flamethrower out of the table. I
|
||
activate it quickly, before she has a chance to escape, taking her
|
||
contamination elsewhere. She and the sofa disappear in a swath of flame.
|
||
I didn't like to do it, but the measures necessary to stop the spread of
|
||
AIDS are everybody's responsibility.
|
||
I sit down on a chair, watching the last few flames flicker out on the
|
||
sofa. Something else occurs to me. I am full of bodily fluids. Belinda
|
||
may have contaminated me, even though she seemed like a nice enough girl.
|
||
What to do now? Do most people even know that the human body is almost all
|
||
fluids? Those are bodily fluids. Sweat. Blood. Mucus. Phlegm. Even tears.
|
||
All bodily fluids. I sit, contemplating the final measures I must take.

This Aggie, East Indian and a Jew were riding through the country when
|
||
their car broke down. They walked up to a farm house and asked if they
|
||
could spend the night? The farmer said, "Well yea, but one of you will have
|
||
to sleep out in the barn. I've only got room for two of you in the
|
||
house."
|
||
So the Indian agreed to sleep in the barn. A couple of minutes later
|
||
there was a knock at the door. The Indian says, "I can't sleep out there.
|
||
There is a cow out there and that is sacred." So the Jewish guy volunteered
|
||
to sleep in the barn. A few minutes after everyone has gone to bed,
|
||
there is another knock at the door. The Jewish guy says, "I can't sleep out
|
||
there! There is a pig out there and that just isn't kosher." So the Aggie
|
||
says, "All right, all right. I'll sleep in the barn." So everyone goes to
|
||
bed one more time. A few minutes later, again, there is a knock at the
|
||
door. When they opened the door, there stood the pig and the cow........

A MODERN FABLE
|

|

Aesop's fables and other traditional children's stories involve

_The Troubled Aardvark_
|
||
|
||
Once upon a time, there was an aardvark whose only pleasure in life
|
||
was driving from his suburban bungalow to his job at a large brokerage
|
||
house in his brand new 4x4. He hated his manipulative boss, his
|
||
conniving and unethical co-workers, his greedy wife, and his snivelling,
|
||
spoiled children. One day, the aardvark reflected on the meaning of
|
||
his life and his career and on the unchecked, catastrophic decline of
|
||
his nation, its pathetic excuse for leadership, and the complete
|
||
ineffectiveness of any personal effort he could make to change the
|
||
status quo. Overcome by a wave of utter depression and self-
|
||
doubt, he decided to take the only course of action that would bring
|
||
him greater comfort and happiness: he drove to the mall and bought
|
||
imported consumer electronics goods.
|
||
|
||
MORAL OF THE STORY: Invest in foreign consumer electronics
|
||
manufacturers.

==============================================================================
|
||
|
||
Herewith ten easy lessons gleaned from the experiences of a number of
|
||
would-be robbers.
|
||
|
||
...
|
||
|
||
1) PICK THE RIGHT BACK - You don't want to make the same mistake as the
|
||
fellow in Anaheim, CA, who tried to hold up a bank that was no longer in
|
||
business and had no money.
|
||
Study your history. Don't try to stick up the First National Bank of
|
||
Northfield, Minnesota. Jesse James tried it 111 years ago, and the townsfolk
|
||
took just seven minutes to kill two and capture three of his gang. Nobody
|
||
tried again until 1984, and the customers chased the guy down. They're tight
|
||
with their dollar, those Minnesotans.
|
||
...
|
||
|
||
2) SPEAK TO THE RIGHT TELLER - ... One robber in Upland, CA, presented his
|
||
note to the teller, and her father, who was in the next line, got all bent
|
||
out
|
||
of shape about it. He wrestled the guy to the ground and sat on him until
|
||
authorities arrived.
|
||
|
||
3) DON'T SIGN YOUR DEMAND NOTE - Demand notes have been written on the
|
||
back
|
||
of a subpoena issued in the name of a bank robber in Pittsburgh, on an
|
||
envelope bearing the name and address of another in Detroit, and in East
|
||
Hartford, Connecticut, on the back of a withdrawl slip giving the robber's
|
||
signature and account number.
|
||
|
||
...
|
||
|
||
6) DON'T ADVERTISE - A teenage girl in Los Angeles tried to distract
|
||
attention from her face by wearing a see-through blouse with no bra while
|
||
holding up banks.
|
||
...
|
||
One robber, dressing up as a woman with very heavy make-up, ran face first
|
||
into a glass door. He was the first criminal ever to be positively identified
|
||
by lip-print.
|
||
...
|
||
|
||
7) TAKE RIGHT TURNS ONLY - Avoid the sad fate of the thieves in Florida
|
||
who
|
||
took a wrong turn into the Homestead Air Force Base, drove up to a military
|
||
police guardhouse and, thinking it was a toll-booth, offered the security men
|
||
money. Or the chagrin of the bank robber in Cheshire, Massachusetts, who hit
|
||
the bank at 4:30PM, then tried to escape through downtown North Adams, where
|
||
he was trapped in rush hour traffic until police arrived.
|
||
|
||
...
|
||
|
||
10) CONSIDER ANOTHER LINE OF WORK - Bank robbery is not for everyone. One
|
||
nervous Newport, RI robber, while trying to stuff his ill-gotten gains into
|
||
his shirt pocket, shot himself in the head and died instantly.
|
||
...
|
||
Then there was the case of the hopeful criminal in Swansea, Massachusetts,
|
||
who, when the teller told him she had no money, fainted. He was still
|
||
unconscious when the police arrived. His getaway car, parked nearby, had the
|
||
keys locked inside it.
|
||
==============================================================================
|
||
Expect possible delays in shipment, as Dahmer is under investigation for
|
||
shipping arms to Iraq.

Ever since I was a young boy, Megabogue
|
||
I've sprayed phones in the mall. "Brick Wall Painter"
|
||
From Footscray to Beaumaris Pommy
|
||
I must have sprayed them all. MoccaSIN
|
||
|
||
But I ain't seen anything like him,
|
||
In any children's court...
|
||
That deaf dumb and blind bogue
|
||
Sure paints a mean brick wall!
|
||
|
||
He's a brick wall painter
|
||
He has to be a twit.
|
||
A brick wall painter,
|
||
He's really such a git.
|
||
|
||
Why do you think he does it? I don't know!
|
||
What is the appeal?
|
||
|
||
Rejection of society,
|
||
Or something deep like that,
|
||
That's what the doctors tell us
|
||
But it's a load of crap.
|
||
He's really just a vandal, Megabogue
|
||
And very bad at that... "Brick Wall Painter"
|
||
That deaf dumb and blind bogue Pommy
|
||
What a stupid twat! MoccaSIN
|
||
|
||
I remember from some random class I took when I was in middle school that you
|
||
can create a grammatically correct sentence with just the word "Buffalo," as
|
||
buffalo is an animal (a noun), a place (a proper noun which can be used as an
|
||
adjective) and a verb (meaning to bewilder). Thus, you can have "Buffalo
|
||
buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo." as a perfectly correct sentence that will
|
||
confuse people nicely!!!!

||

|
||

||
He couldn't control his pupils!

||

||
If I had five sweets and a girl asked me for one, how many would I have left?
|
||
Five!

||

|
||
The tooth fairy came and took all her teeth out!
|
||
|
||
What do you call a girl with two toilets?
|
||

||

||
What do you get if you cross a bear with a skunk?
|
||

||

||

||

I Like 'em Dead
|
||
|
||
I was just 13 when my mommy caught me
|
||
French-kissing a cadaver in my bed.
|
||
She said, "Son, how could you do this?"
|
||
And I said "Mom, I like 'em dead."
|
||
|
||
Chorus:
|
||
(He likes 'em dead) You stab 'em I'll grab 'em
|
||
(He likes 'em dead) You kill 'em I'll drill 'em
|
||
(He likes 'em dead) If you slew 'em I'll screw 'em
|
||
You can bet as long as I'm around,
|
||
You'll never bury a virgin in the ground..
|
||
|
||
Mommy took me to a shrink to help me
|
||
Stop arousing libido for things that have died.
|
||
But, when I left, I went to the beach to see
|
||
If any poor souls had got washed in with the tide.
|
||

Chorus
|
||
|
||
When I get bored, I take a little cruise
|
||
Down to the morgue and ask to peruse.
|
||
Slip the attendant his usual twenty;
|
||
He says, "Hey man, have fun; you know we got plenty."
|
||
|
||
Chorus
|
||
|
||
The neighborhood graveyard is fun some days
|
||
As long as you don't mind a bit of decay.
|
||
When I come back I know where to look
|
||
'cause I keep grave-rubbings in a little black book.
|
||
|
||
Chorus
|
||
|
||
Don't gotta pay for any movies or dinner,
|
||
She'll never say "no" and put you to disgrace.
|
||
Sometimes you come out like a winner
|
||
Get a shriveled-up blonde with a big blue face.
|
||
|
||
Chorus
|
||
|
||
I like a woman who is passive and passi,
|
||
Spiritless and lifeless and gone-by-the-way.
|
||
Deceased, defunct, departed, dead and dry,
|
||
Bought the farm last week, and now she's living in the sky
|
||
|
||
Chorus
|
||
|
||
Well, I'm a coroner now, and it's my legal job
|
||
To find out how people got killed.
|
||
But before I ship them off to the morgue,
|
||
I give those corpses one last thrill!
|
||

Ok, then there's another song, then it comes back with just acoustic guitar

I Like 'em Dead (reprise)
|
||
|
||
(He likes 'em dead) You kill 'em I'll grill 'em
|
||
(He likes 'em dead) You hang 'em I'll bang 'em
|

(He likes 'em dead) You impale 'em I'll nail 'em
|
||
You can bet as long as I'm around
|
||
You'll never bury a virgin in the ground..

|

"I don't like my women frigid," that's what most men say;
|
||
But I installed a meat locker to keep her that way.
|
||
At the beach I keep her floating with a bicycle pump,
|
||
And when we break up, I just take her to the dump.
|
||
|
||
(He likes 'em dead) You bump 'em I'll hump 'em
|
||
(He likes 'em dead) You club 'em I'll scrub 'em
|
||
(He likes 'em dead) You slash 'em I'll thrash 'em
|
||
You can bet as long as I'm around
|
||
You'll never bury a virgin in the ground..

A 5-year-old girl gets a kitten for her birthday. Soon thereafter, the Mom,
|
||
while getting into the car slams the door on the kitten, killing it in
|
||
front of her daughter. Mom explains that "this is life", accidents happen, we
|
||
learn from our mistakes, and so on. The little girl is still grieving when 2
|
||
days later the mother returns with a new kitten. A few days later, the
|
||
mother is closing the car door, and the kitten jumps in and, you guessed it,
|
||
gets smashed right in front of the little girl. The mother's mind is racing
|
||
now trying to determine how to explain this one to her daughter when the

little girl says "That's okay, mommy. But this time, let's get an armadillo."

A man is driving when he sees a dead cat in the road. Recognizing it as his
|
||
neighbor's, he retrives the cat and places it into the only available
|
||
receptacle he has, an empty bag from Hudson's (a local department store).
|
||
Placing the cat, in the bag, in his trunk, he proceeds on to his appointment.
|
||
The next day he is driving and he sees a Hudson's store and this reminds him
|
||
that the cat is decomposing in his trunk. So he stops the car and gets the
|
||
bag out of his trunk when he feels a pain in his side. Its a man who says
|
||
"Okay buddy. I have a gun and I don't want to hurt you. Hand over that bag."

My uncle raised boxers (the dogs) and one, named Sarge, would get out and
|
||
whore around the neighborhood, coming back stinking and worrying his owner.
|
||
When this happened, my uncle would grab him, take him to the basement, and
|
||
put him in their standup shower and run cold water over him for 10 minutes
|
||
as punishment. Well this routine happened about 4 or 5 times, until one day
|
||
Sarge showed up at the door after a round of visiting the neighborhood
|
||
female dogs. My uncle was just getting ready to grab him when
|
||
Sarge ran directly down to the shower stall and sat down.

There once was this slimy showbiz agent named Dave who
|
||
really really wanted to sleep with his premier client, a beatiful
|
||
sexy fashion model. Time after time, he would proposition her,
|
||
and at every opportunity she would turn him down.
|
||
Finally, hs birthday rolled around, and the gorgeous fashion
|
||
model agreed to sleep with pathetic Dave. They rented a
|
||
hotel room, turned out the lights until only the whites
|
||
of their eyes showed, and did the deed. The two then rolled
|
||
over and went to sleep.
|
||
A few minutes later, the model felt a tap on her shoulder.
|
||
"Ooo, Dave," she said, "I didn't know you had such stamina!"
|
||
And they went at it again.
|
||
Minutes later, she felt that tap on her shoulder again, and
|
||
again they went at it. The events were replayed about
|
||
fifteen times until finally the fashion model said,
|
||
"Dave! I've never known a man to have such sexual endurance!"
|
||
"I'm not Dave!" said a strange man next to her. "Dave's outside
|
||
selling tickets!"

reservation to interview the Chief. Turns out, the animals on the

land can talk, so the reporter convinces the Chief to let him
|
||
interview some of them.
|
||
Reporter: Chief, can I talk to the horse?
|
||
Chief: Okay.
|
||
Reporter: So, tell me, horse, how is it living here?
|
||
Horse: Good... lots of room to run, plenty of grass to eat, and me
|
||
and the dog get along well.
|
||
Reporter: Chief, can I talk to the dog?
|
||
Chief: Okay.
|

Reporter: So, tell me, dog, how is it living here?

Dog: Good... lots of room to run, plenty of cats to chase and me

and the sheep get along well.

Lady: What can you do to satisfy me. And pay attention I am a

|

Guy: My speciality is leaking navels.
|

Lady: What? I came from the States specially to see you driving me mad

and all you can do is leak my navel. Even my husband can do that.

Guy: Yes lady. But I do it from inside.

In a similar vein, I saw these in my college in India;

1. A line drawn 20 feet above ground level and the legend, "If you can piss

Mikhail Gorbachev believed in omens. He thought that the bird following

It seems that recently on the "Today" show, there was a white female guest
|
||
who was going to demonstrate self-defense she taught. She had brought along
|
||
one of her instructors, a black male, to be the "attacker" for the
|
||
demonstration. The staff at "Today" freaked, and insisted on replacing the
|
||
man, explaining that they could not be a party to such racist stereotyping.
|

The replaced the man with Bryant Gumbel.

I called up the local auto club this morning to ask for a map of Colorado.
|

The receptionist who answered the phone asked me to spell my last name, and

then my first name.
|

Me: "D-A-V-I-D."
|

Her: "Was the first letter 'D' as in David or 'B' as in boy?"

With a mind like that, she could be designing rocket boosters for Morton-

A man goes to a psychiatrist. To start things off, the psychiatrist
|
||
suggests they start with a Rorschach Test. He holds up the first picture
|
||
and asks the man what he sees.
|
||
"A man and a woman making love in a park," the man replies.
|
||
The psychiatrist holds up the second picture and asks the man what he
|
||
sees.
|
||
"A man and a woman making love in a boat."
|
||
He holds up the third picture.
|
||
"A man and a woman making love at the beach."
|
||
This goes on for the rest of the set of pictures; the man says he
|
||
sees a man and a woman making love in every one of the pictures. At the
|
||
end of the test, the psychiatrist looks over his notes and says, "It
|
||
looks like you have a preoccupation with sex."
|

And the man replies, "Well, you're the one with the dirty pictures."

There was an Indian Chief, and he had three squaws, and kept them in
|
||
three teepees. When he would come home late from hunting, he would not
|
||
know which teepee contained which squaw, being dark and all. He went
|
||
hunting one day, and killed a hippopotamus, a bear, and a buffalo. He
|
||
put the a hide from each animal into a different teepee, so that when
|
||
he came home late, he could feel inside the teepee and he would know
|
||
which squaw was inside.
|
||
Well after about a year, all three squaws had children. The squaw
|
||
on the bear had a baby boy, the squaw on the buffalo hide had a baby
|
||
girl. But the squaw on the hippopotamus had a girl and a boy. So what is
|
||
the moral of the story?
|
||
|
||
***********************
|
||
The squaw on the hippopotamus is equal to the sum of the squaws on the
|
||
other two hides.

There was once a very smart horse. Anything that was shown it,
|

it mastered easily, until one day, its teachers tried to teach
|
||
it about rectanguar coordinates and it couldn't understand them.
|
||
All the horse's aquaintences and friends tried to figure out
|
||
what was the matter and couldn't. Then a new guy (what the heck,
|
||
a computer engineer) looked at the problem and said,
|
||
|
||
"Of course he can't do it. Why, you're putting Descartes before
|
||
the horse!"

TOP TEN EXCUSES FOR NOT DOING THE MATH HOMEWORK
|

|
||
1. I accidentally divided by zero and my paper burst into flames.

3. I could only get arbitrarily close to my textbook. I couldn't
|
||
actually reach it.

5. I was watching the World Series and got tied up trying to prove
|
||
that it converged.

and puts out the fire. Second day, the same two sit in the same lounge. Again,
|
||
the coffee machine catches on fire. This time, the mathematician stands up,
|
||
got a bucket, hand the bucket to the physicist, thus reduce the problem to

A topologist is a man who cannot tell a difference between a coffe cup

A statistician is a man, who with his head in an oven and his feet in
|

an ice bucket, will say that on the average he feels fine.

Why does every university have a math department?
|

It's cheaper than institutionalizing them.

Definitions of Terms Commonly Used in Higher Math
|
||
|
||
The following is a guide to the weary student of mathematics who
|
||
is often confronted with terms which are commonly used but rarely
|
||
defined. In the search for proper definitions for these terms we
|
||
found no authoritative, nor even recognized, source. Thus, we
|
||
followed the advice of mathematicians handed down from time
|
||
immortal: "Wing It."
|
||
|
||
|
||
CLEARLY: I don't want to write down all the "in-
|
||
between" steps.
|
||
|
||
TRIVIAL: If I have to show you how to do this, you're
|
||
in the wrong class.
|
||
|
||
OBVIOUSLY: I hope you weren't sleeping when we discussed
|
||
this earlier, because I refuse to repeat it.
|
||
|
||
RECALL: I shouldn't have to tell you this, but for
|
||
those of you who erase your memory tapes
|
||
after every test...
|
||
|
||
WLOG (Without Loss Of Generality): I'm not about to do all the
|
||
possible cases, so I'll do one and let you
|
||
figure out the rest.
|
||
|
||
IT CAN EASILY BE SHOWN: Even you, in your finite wisdom, should
|
||
be able to prove this without me holding your
|
||
hand.
|
||
|
||
CHECK or CHECK FOR YOURSELF: This is the boring part of the
|
||
proof, so you can do it on your own time.
|
||
|
||
SKETCH OF A PROOF: I couldn't verify all the details, so I'll
|
||
break it down into the parts I couldn't
|
||
prove.
|
||
|
||
HINT: The hardest of several possible ways to do a
|
||
proof.
|
||
|
||
BRUTE FORCE (AND IGNORANCE): Four special cases, three counting
|
||
arguments, two long inductions, "and a
|
||
partridge in a pair tree."
|
||
|
||
SOFT PROOF: One third less filling (of the page) than
|
||
your regular proof, but it requires two extra
|
||
years of course work just to understand the
|
||
terms.
|
||
|
||
ELEGANT PROOF: Requires no previous knowledge of the subject
|
||
matter and is less than ten lines long.
|
||
|
||
SIMILARLY: At least one line of the proof of this case is
|
||
the same as before.
|
||
|
||
CANONICAL FORM: 4 out of 5 mathematicians surveyed
|
||
recommended this as the final form for their
|
||
students who choose to finish.
|
||
|
||
TFAE (The Following Are Equivalent): If I say this it means that,
|
||
and if I say that it means the other thing,
|
||
and if I say the other thing...
|
||
|
||
BY A PREVIOUS THEOREM: I don't remember how it goes (come to
|
||
think of it I'm not really sure we did this
|
||
at all), but if I stated it right (or at
|
||
all), then the rest of this follows.
|
||
|
||
TWO LINE PROOF: I'll leave out everything but the conclusion,
|
||
you can't question 'em if you can't see 'em.
|
||
|
||
BRIEFLY: I'm running out of time, so I'll just write
|
||
and talk faster.
|
||
|
||
LET'S TALK THROUGH IT: I don't want to write it on the board lest
|
||
I make a mistake.
|
||
|
||
PROCEED FORMALLY: Manipulate symbols by the rules without any
|
||
hint of their true meaning (popular in pure
|
||
math courses).
|
||
|
||
QUANTIFY: I can't find anything wrong with your proof
|
||
except that it won't work if x is a moon of
|
||
Jupiter (Popular in applied math courses).
|
||
|
||
PROOF OMITTED: Trust me, It's true.

|
||
The USDA once wanted to make cows produce milk faster, to improve the dairy
|
||
industry.
|
||
So, they decided to consult the foremost biologists and
|
||
recombinant DNA technicians to build them a better cow.
|
||
They assembled this team of great scientists, and gave them
|
||
unlimited funding. They requested rare chemicals, weird
|
||
bacteria, tons of quarantine equipment, there was a
|
||
God-awful typhus epidemic they started by accident,
|
||
and, 2 years later, they came back with the "new, improved cow."
|
||
It had a milk production improvement of 2% over the
|
||
original.
|
||
They then tried with the greatest Nobel Prize winning chemists
|
||
around. They worked for six months, and, after requisitioning
|
||
tons of chemical equipment, and poisoning half the small town
|
||
in Colorado where they were working with a toxic cloud from
|
||
one of their experiments, they got a 5% improvement in milk output.
|
||
The physicists tried for a year, and, after ten thousand cows were
|
||
subjected to radiation therapy, they got a 1% improvement in output.
|
||
Finally, in desperation, they turned to the mathematicians. The
|
||
foremost mathematician of his time offered to help them with the problem.
|
||
Upon hearing the problem, he told the delegation that they could come back
|
||
in the morning and he would have solved the problem. In the morning,
|
||
they came back, and he handed them a piece of paper with the
|
||
computations for the new, 300% improved milk cow.
|
||
The plans began:
|
||
"A Proof of the Attainability of Increased Milk Output from Bovines:
|
||
Consider a spherical cow......"
|
||
|
||
Theorem : All positive integers are equal.
|
||
Proof : Sufficient to show that for any two positive integers, A and B,
|
||
A = B. Further, it is sufficient to show that for all N > 0, if A
|
||
and B (positive integers) satisfy (MAX(A, B) = N) then A = B.
|
||
Proceed by induction.
|
||
If N = 1, then A and B, being positive integers, must both be 1.
|
||
So A = B.
|
||
Assume that the theorem is true for some value k. Take A and B
|
||
with MAX(A, B) = k+1. Then MAX((A-1), (B-1)) = k. And hence
|
||
(A-1) = (B-1). Consequently, A = B.
|
||
|
||
A bunch of Polish scientists decided to flee their repressive
|
||
government by hijacking an airliner and forcing the pilot to
|
||
fly them to a western country. They drove to the airport,
|
||
forced their way on board a large passenger jet, and found there
|
||
was no pilot on board. Terrified, they listened as the sirens
|
||
got louder. Finally, one of the scientists suggested that since
|
||
he was an experimentalist, he would try to fly the aircraft.
|
||
He sat down at the controls and tried to figure them out. The sirens
|
||
got louder and louder. Armed men surrounded the jet. The would be
|
||
pilot's friends cried out, "Please, please take off now!!!
|
||
Hurry!!!!!!" The experimentalist calmly replied, "Have patience.
|
||
I'm just a simple pole in a complex plane."

||
Hiawatha Designs an Experiment
|
||
Hiawatha, mighty hunter,
|
||
He could shoot ten arrows upward,
|
||
Shoot them with such strength and swiftness
|
||
That the last had left the bow-string
|
||
Ere the first to earth descended.
|
||
This was commonly regarded
|
||
As a feat of skill and cunning.
|
||
Several sarcastic spirits
|
||
Pointed out to him, however,
|
||
That it might be much more useful
|
||
If he sometimes hit the target.
|
||
"Why not shoot a little straighter
|
||
And employ a smaller sample?"
|
||
Hiawatha, who at college
|
||
Majored in applied statistics,
|
||
Consequently felt entitled
|
||
To instruct his fellow man
|
||
In any subject whatsoever,
|
||
Waxed exceedingly indignant,
|
||
Talked about the law of errors,
|
||
Talked about truncated normals,
|
||
Talked of loss of information,
|
||
Talked about his lack of bias,
|
||
Pointed out that (in the long run)
|
||
Independent observations,
|
||
Even though they missed the target,
|
||
Had an average point of impact
|
||
Very near the spot he aimed at,
|
||
With the possible exception
|
||
of a set of measure zero.
|
||
"This," they said, "was rather doubtful;
|
||
Anyway it didn't matter.
|
||
What resulted in the long run:
|
||
Either he must hit the target
|
||
Much more often than at present,
|
||
Or himself would have to pay for
|
||
All the arrows he had wasted."
|
||
Hiawatha, in a temper,
|
||
Quoted parts of R. A. Fisher,
|
||
Quoted Yates and quoted Finney,
|
||
Quoted reams of Oscar Kempthorne,
|
||
Quoted Anderson and Bancroft
|
||
(practically in extenso)
|
||
Trying to impress upon them
|
||
That what actually mattered
|
||
Was to estimate the error.
|
||
Several of them admitted:
|
||
"Such a thing might have its uses;
|
||
Still," they said, "he would do better
|
||
If he shot a little straighter."
|
||
Hiawatha, to convince them,
|
||
Organized a shooting contest.
|
||
Laid out in the proper manner
|
||
Of designs experimental
|
||
Recommended in the textbooks,
|
||
Mainly used for tasting tea
|
||
(but sometimes used in other cases)
|
||
Used factorial arrangements
|
||
And the theory of Galois,
|
||
Got a nicely balanced layout
|
||
And successfully confounded
|
||
Second order interactions.
|
||
All the other tribal marksmen,
|
||
Ignorant benighted creatures
|
||
Of experimental setups,
|
||
Used their time of preparation
|
||
Putting in a lot of practice
|
||
Merely shooting at the target.
|
||
Thus it happened in the contest
|
||
That their scores were most impressive
|
||
With one solitary exception.
|
||
This, I hate to have to say it,
|
||
Was the score of Hiawatha,
|
||
Who as usual shot his arrows,
|
||
Shot them with great strength and swiftness,
|
||
Managing to be unbiased,
|
||
Not however with a salvo
|
||
Managing to hit the target.
|
||
"There!" they said to Hiawatha,
|
||
"That is what we all expected."
|
||
Hiawatha, nothing daunted,
|
||
Called for pen and called for paper.
|
||
But analysis of variance
|
||
Finally produced the figures
|
||
Showing beyond all peradventure,
|
||
Everybody else was biased.
|
||
And the variance components
|
||
Did not differ from each other's,
|
||
Or from Hiawatha's.
|
||
(This last point it might be mentioned,
|
||
Would have been much more convincing
|
||
If he hadn't been compelled to
|
||
Estimate his own components
|
||
From experimental plots on
|
||
Which the values all were missing.)
|
||
Still they couldn't understand it,
|
||
So they couldn't raise objections.
|
||
(Which is what so often happens
|
||
with analysis of variance.)
|
||
All the same his fellow tribesmen,
|
||
Ignorant benighted heathens,
|
||
Took away his bow and arrows,
|
||
Said that though my Hiawatha
|
||
Was a brilliant statistician,
|
||
He was useless as a bowman.
|
||
As for variance components
|
||
Several of the more outspoken
|
||
Make primeval observations
|
||
Hurtful of the finer feelings
|
||
Even of the statistician.
|
||
In a corner of the forest
|
||
Sits alone my Hiawatha
|
||
Permanently cogitating
|
||
On the normal law of errors.
|
||
Wondering in idle moments
|
||
If perhaps increased precision
|
||
Might perhaps be sometimes better
|
||
Even at the cost of bias,
|
||
If one could thereby now and then
|
||
Register upon a target.
|
||
|
||
An assemblage of the most gifted minds in the world were all posed the following
|
||
question:
|
||
"What is 2 * 2 ?"
|
||
The engineer whips out his slide rule (so it's old) and shuffles it back and
|
||
forth, and finally announces "3.99".
|
||
The physicist consults his technical references, sets up the problem on
|
||
his computer, and announces "it lies between 3.98 and 4.02".
|
||
The mathematician cogitates for a while, oblivious to the rest of the world,
|
||
then announces: "I don't what the answer is, but I can tell you, an answer
|
||
exists!".
|
||
Philosopher: "But what do you _mean_ by 2 * 2 ?"
|
||
Logician: "Please define 2 * 2 more precisely."
|
||
Accountant: Closes all the doors and windows, looks around carefully,
|
||
then asks "What do you _want_ the answer to be?"
|
||
Computer Hacker: Breaks into the NSA super-computer and gives the answer.
|
||
|
||
Old mathematicians never die; they just lose some of their functions.
|
||
|
||
During a class of calculus my lecturer suddenly checked himself and
|
||
stared intently at the table in front of him for a while. Then he
|
||
looked up at us and explained that he thought he had brought six piles
|
||
of papers with him, but "no matter how he counted" there was only five
|
||
on the table. Then he became silent for a while again and then told
|
||
the following story:
|
||
"When I was young in Poland I met the great mathematician Waclaw
|
||
Sierpinski. He was old already then and rather absent-minded. Once he
|
||
had to move to a new place for some reason. His wife wife didn't trust
|
||
him very much, so when they stood down on the street with all their
|
||
things, she said:
|
||
- Now, you stand here and watch our ten trunks, while I go and get a
|
||
taxi.
|
||
She left and left him there, eyes somewhat glazed and humming
|
||
absently. Some minutes later she returned, presumably having called
|
||
for a taxi. Says Mr Sierpinski (possibly with a glint in his eye):
|
||
- I thought you said there were ten trunks, but I've only counted to nine.
|
||
- No, they're TEN!
|
||
- No, count them: 0, 1, 2, ..."

Philosopher: "Resolution of the continuum hypothesis will have
|
||
profound implications to all of science."
|

mythical `foundations'. Just give us serviceable mathematics."
|

LIFE IN THE SLAW LANE
|
||
by Kip Adotta
|
||
|
||
It was Cucumber the First; Summer was over.
|
||
I had just spinached a long day and I was busheled.
|
||
I'm the kinda guy that works hard for his celery,
|
||
And I don't mind tellin' you I was feeling a bit wilted.
|
||
|
||
But I didn't carrot all, 'cuz otherwise things were vine.
|
||
I try never to despairagus, and I don't sweat the truffles.
|
||
I'm outstanding in my field, and I know that something good will turnip,
|
||
eventually.
|
||
|
||
|
||
A bunch of things were going grape, and soon I'd be top banana.
|
||
At least that's my peeling.
|
||
But that's enough corn; lend me your ear,
|
||
And lettuce continue.
|
||
|
||
After dressing, I stalked over to the grain station.
|
||
I got there just in lime to catch the nine-e-lemon
|
||
As it plowed towards the core of Appleton,
|
||
A lentil more than a melon-and-a-half yeast of Cloveland.
|
||
|
||
CHORUS:
|
||
|
||
Life in the Slaw Lane...
|
||
They say plants can feel no pain.
|
||
Life in the Slaw Lane...
|
||
I've got news for you,
|
||
They're just as frail as you.
|
||
|
||
No one got off at Zucchini so we continued on our route-a-baga.
|
||
Passing my usual stop, I got off a'Cado.
|
||
I hailed a passing yellow Cabbage
|
||
And told the driver to cart me off to Broccolin.
|
||
I was going to meet my brother across from the eggplant,
|
||
Where he had a job at the Saffron station, pumpkin gas.
|
||
|
||
As soon as I saw his face I knew he was in a yam.
|
||
He told me his wife had been raisin cain.
|
||
Her name was Peaches, a soiled but radishing beauty with huge gourds.
|
||
My brother'd always been a chestnut,
|
||
But I could never figure out why she picked him.
|
||
He was a skinny little stringbean
|
||
Who'd always suffered from Cerebral Parsley; it was in our roots.
|
||
Sure, we had tried to weed it out, but the problem still romained.
|
||
He was used to having a tough row to hoe,
|
||
But it irrigated me to see Artie choke.
|
||
And it bothered my brother to see his marriage go to seed.
|
||
|
||
(CHORUS)
|
||
|
||
Like most mapled couples they had a lot of growing to do.
|
||
Sure, they'd sown their wild oats - but just barley, if you peas.
|
||
Finally Peaches had given him an ul-tomato.
|
||
She said, "I'm hip to your chive, and if you don't smoking that herb,
|
||
I'm gonna leaf ya, for Basil, ya fruit!"
|
||
|
||
He said he didn't realize it had kumquat so far.
|
||
Onion other hand, even though Peaches could be the pits,
|
||
I knew she'd never call the fuzz.
|
||
|
||
(CHORUS)
|
||
|
||
So I said, "Hay... we're not farm from the Mush Room -- let's walk over."
|
||
He said, "that's a very rice place.
|
||
That's the same little bar where alfalfa my wife."
|
||
When we got thre I pulled up a cherry and tried to produce smalltalk.
|
||
I told him I hadn't seen Olive,
|
||
Not since I'd shelled off for a trip to Macadamia,
|
||
When I told her we can't-elope, the time just wasn't ripe.
|
||
She knew what I mint.
|
||
|
||
When we left the Mush Room we were pretty well juiced.
|
||
I told Artie to say hello to the boysenberry,
|
||
And that I'd orange to see him another time.
|
||
|
||
Well, it all came out in the morning peppers.
|
||
Artie caught Peaches that night with Basil,
|
||
And Artie beat Basil bad, leavin' him with two beautiful acres.
|
||
|
||
Peaches? She was found in the garden.
|
||
She'd been...
|
||
Pruned.
|
||
|
||
(CHORUS)
|
||
|
||
Well, my little story is okra now.
|
||
Maybe it's small potatoes; me, Idaho.
|
||
My name? Wheat. My friends call me Kernel.
|
||
And that's life, in the slaw lane.
|
||
Thank you, so mulch.
|
||
|
||
(It's a garden out there!)
