Pi in your eye!

There was a young man who was the first in his family to graduate from High School and go off to college. He came out of a rural backwards community. At Christmas break, he returned home to his family. Relatives were crammed into the house. The father, all proud and exited said, "Well son, this is your first semester in college. Say something real smart to the family." The young man replied "πr2" "What!?" exclaimed the father. "Why son, that is the dumbest thing I ever heard you say! Any dern fool knows that pie are round, cobbler are square!"

Re: Pi in your eye!

During Algebra, we were reviewing formulas, and my teacher asked, "what is the formula for the area of a circle?" and the whole class chanted back, "pi-r-squared" and she looked at us and said, "that is wrong". WE were all bewildered, until she said, "Pies are round!". We roared with laughter for about 10 minutes over that one.
