Poem by a student
I recently heard a poem by a student
"I dig, you dig, he digs, she digs, they dig, we dig."
If you don't understand it, it's ok, it's very ....DEEP.

Thanks. That explains why I do not like it

Those side conversations just muddy everything up.
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.

When I first heard that joke, I just couldn't help myself. My laughter was of seismic proportions.

Re: Poem by a student
Hi GreatSandy
It's a pun on the word "deep". It can be used to mean that it's very philosophical, but also to refer to "deep" as in "deep under the earth".
You can see the rest of us followed by even more puns with words related to dirt and mud.
