OT-A Bad Pun for youknowwho

Ooh, ooh not even pc girl !

Me, not pc. I is a New Yawk Liberal and I think pc is fine but sometimes overdone, and it's also okay to call a joke just a joke and forget pc for a change.

Most important, is it funny?

I hope so, and Joan too.

I never in my life expected the Pythagorean Theorem to be involved in a joke! Thanks!

I've heard it before, am not a math whiz, but it still brought a smile to my face! :) See?

The worst part is that I heard this as teenager! and it's still haunting me

So old it's dead now ?

Am I the only one who thought this was new. Oh well! It was new to me.

I hadn't heard it, I just thought, from her post maybe Cheryl was older than us dear lol

Just for reference and/or reminder the Pythagorean theorem is that in any right triangle, the square of the hypoteneus equals the sum of the squares of the other two sides. The simple example is -- in a right triangle with one side 3" and the other side 4", you add 9 (square of

3) and 16 (square of 4), which is 25. So the hypoteneus length will be whatever 25 is the square of, which is 5. Sorry about the grammar! When I was a kid, my father liked to show us all sorts of fun math and science and history goodies after dinner at the kitchen table, and Pythagorus wandered through when I was in 3rd grade. It was a good thing he had fun doing that stuff with my sisters and I since we had to learn math and sciences and history somewhere -- school didn't really cut it, but we all got magnificent SAT scores thanks to him! And I thought the joke was really pretty good!

Thanks, so did I

We couldn't be so lucky!

Nay - my math teacher told us the joke and he had to be in his late 50s in
