Know How To Spot A Senior Forum?

A hillbilly sent his son off to college.

When the boy returned, his father asked, "So what in tarnation is you studyin' down there in the flatlands?"

"Mathematics, Father," replied the young man.

"Waal, ain't that sumpin!," exclaimed the father, "What doncha speak me some of them math-ee-maticks, then?"

"Mathematics is an applied science, Father," the young man patiently explained. "One does not "speak" mathematics."

"Lissen, you danged pup! When Ah says to speak sumpin to me, Ah means for you to speak it to me!" yelled the enraged father.

"Very well, Father. I will "speak" you some mathematics. Pi r squared. Are you happy now?"

The hillbilly slapped the son up side of the head and yelled, "You good-fer-nothing git! Ah spends all mah money sendin' you off to collidge and I has to lissen to yer mama braggin' 'bout you all the damned time and you ain't learned nothin'!!! You come home and try to tell me that pie are square? Even a dang fool knows that pie are not square. Pie are round! Cornbread are square!"

Diagramming a sentence was one of those exercises created in purgatory. EVERY single word was underlined and circled and labeled as every part of speech you could pull out of the poor thing. A fun fact...my sister in law went to Catholic school before Vatican II. She can still diagram a sentence and has perfect penmanship...those nuns didn't fool around in those days.

Boy, do I ever remember diagramming sentences, and I didn't even go to Catholic school!
 
Wonderful Avatar!

:lofl: Love it, Pookie.
I came to that conclusion many times during my maths studies.

Oh, My! Warri, I just now saw this most intensely impressive Avatar, depicting a lady of grace, knowledge, understanding, humility. Might you reveal to a warrantless old curmudgeon, just how to become so nice? imp

OK I can tell when I'm being buttered up. What exactly do you want, imp?

I do scones and carrot and walnut cake but that's all I'm prepared to offer ATM. You have to pay for the postage. :grin:
