Overheard at a Fooleryland Super Bowl gathering the other day:
Chas: "Sparky, what's 2 x 3?"
Sparky: "Six!"
Everybody: "Good job!" "Great!" "Right!"
Chas: "Okay, Sparky, what's 3 x 2?"
Sparky: "Ummmm . . . "
Smedley: "Oh, she just hasn't learned about the commutative properties of multiplication yet."
Yeah, I know.
Everybody: "Whaa . . . ?" "The what now?" "Is there more guacamole?"
I had to look it up, too.
so much for simple math!

Grandma j, I was, too, because I was the one looking around for more guacamole.
Bob, only you can find a pun in a math problem.
MPM, no, what we got right here is an ACTRESS with a great memory for her lines (even if they are mathematical in origin). She remembers EVERYTHING.
Thanks for reading, my friends!
