Unkind stereotype

No, it just feels like you don't have any friends when you have a funny calculus joke and realize you can't tell it to anyone because all you'd get is blank looks and crickets.

Oh my - this joke is bad. "i" is symbolic of complex numbers (also called imaginary numbers - which is where the "i" comes from - but the point is that complex numbers are not real numbers). And pi is a real but irrational number. Now that we understand that each is criticizing the other from prejudice - I now have no friends on this forum.

Not from those that understand the joke; that are laughing at the un-revelant responses from those that did not get it - nor from the others that do not understand the full context that do not like being laughed at.

It's not just a stereotype. I'm married to a math guy who has no friends.

I can sympathize. :)

????? You are not a friend to your husband?

Just a note: Einstein's wife was asked if she understood his theories of relativity or special relativity? No - she responded - but I understand Albert.

Really?

Poo. I followed Loudmouths advise. I put a lot of effort into this geeky joke.

The problem with 'ignorance' jokes is knowing if it's a joke or actual ignorance. Guess the wrong way and things can get messy, people who know better don't appreciate being corrected and someone who's ignorant doesn't like being laughed at.
