The old Greek philosopher Testicles once said, "You can’t put two pounds of olives into a one pound bag." [}:)]
Yep, funny Jim!
Joe, you might be interesed in the math puzzle I mentioned on the other math thread. It’s actually only worth 100k if you solve it, and you will have to split that with me. I didn’t give enough info on the other thread, and no one has asked yet.
Are you a math guy Jim? You can try also if you like.
If anyone has a gambling math question, I might be your guy?

Thats hilarious but to close to the truth.
When I was in school I was in the math club, stop laughing, we had Tshirts with a calculator and a beer mug inside a circle with a slash through it and a caption "Don’t drink and derive." Your math joke reminded me of it.

NEW YORK — A public school teacher was arrested today at John F. Kennedy International Airport as he attempted to board a flight while in possession of a ruler, a protractor, a set square, a slide rule and a calculator. At a morning press conference, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales said he believes the man is a member of the notorious Al-gebra movement. He did not identify the man, who has been charged by the FBI with carrying weapons of math instruction. "Al-gebra is a problem for us," Gonzales said. "They desire solutions by means and extremes, and sometimes go off on tangents in search of absolute values. They use secret code names like ‘x’ and ‘y’ and refer to themselves as ‘unknowns’, but we have determined they belong to a common denominator of the axis of medieval with coordinates in every country. As the Greek philanderer Isosceles used to say, ‘There are 3 sides to every triangle’." When asked to comment on the arrest, George W. Bush said, "If God had wanted us to have better weapons of math instruction, He would have given us more fingers and toes."
