Justin Johns and I had fun in Calculus class today. Heather's haiku started us off.
Justin is not happy about our last test. Considering the class average grade was something like a 41%, and no one got above a C, I think that describes most of us:
I understand this
I just can't do it on tests
Stupid Calculus...
Dr. Schaffers, our Calculus professor, is 79, and we all love him. He loves making fun of us, and we've started getting into the mix ourselves. This one is based off of a comment John Davis made in class.
Schaffers tells his class
They think they live forever
They reply "you have!"
Justin replied:
Math haikus are fun
But you must see we are nerds
To the nth degree.
I chuckled and pulled out a proof:
A math nerd is in love
Says he's dependant on her
"I'm her f of x"
Later in class, Peter raised his hand with a question about the final.
"If for some reason you wanted to ruin our lives..."
"Oh, I love it," Schaffers cut him off jovially. "I'm a sadist."
The best news we got today was that we aren't meeting on Friday as previously expected.
"On the ninteenth day of Christmas, dear Schaffers gave to me...No Calculus class!"
Tidings of comfort and joy, ya'll -- no, seriously.

Glad I'm such a trendsetter!
ReplyDeleteI like this one -
"Three things are certain:
Death, taxes, and lost data.
Guess which has occurred."
"Geniuses love math,
ReplyDeleteAnd I think I'm allergic.
Math just makes me sneeze."
It sounds like y'all have more fun than should be allowed in a math class :) And I hope you're happy -- you've got me itching to start a song parody...
-On the fourth day of Finals, my teachers gave to me,
Four days of tests,
Three hours of sleep,
Two reading days,
And enough stress to drive me insane!-
Hm, not a haiku, but a funny pickup line I heard the other day. You might be one of the few people who actually understand it:
ReplyDeleteI wish I were your derivative so I could lie tangent to your curves.
Heckyes. Try it on your professor. Perhaps he will swoon.
Heather: I am baffled.
ReplyDeleteClaire: Justin wrote it, and, since it is not obsene, nor referring to a person, I felt it did not warrent censoring.
Elizabeth: Just wait for my big government re-write of Good King Winceslas.
Treasurehunter: Yes...I heard an acapela love song this morning that was nothing but math/geometry/physics references. I barely understood any of them. I've heard the one you mention before; oddly enough, someone quoted it at lunch today.
I'm sorry it baffled you.
ReplyDeleteThe context was, "If Computer Error Messages Were Writen in Haiku..."
Oh, hahaha! That's quite funny.
ReplyDeleteNathan B. showed me a picture of a question box:
File "World" is too large for the recycle bin. Delete permenantly?
The mouse cursor is over 'yes to all'
What I love about
ReplyDeletehaiku is that despite there
being standards for
syllable number
there is little else in the
way of guidelines; so
structure aside, you
have infinite topics to
choose from, which allows you
to write whatever
and because it is haiku
it becomes worthwhile
anyone can write
haiku--they are easy but
somehow impressive
on the other hand
reading material in
different formats
requires slightly
more creativity in
the way of topics
when it comes to prose
syllabic restriction is
least of your worries
Oh wow. Amazing.
ReplyDeleteBut "choose from, which allows you"
Appears to have six.
