algebra lesson
The son of a Kentucky moonshiner wanted to go to college, but his father said, “No one in our family got past eighth grade, and we made out ok.”
He finally agreed to send his son to college but gave him a warning to do well and learn as much as he could.
When the son came home on Christmas vacation his father asked him what he learned.
The son said had been taking remedial algebra.
His father said, “Say something in algebra to prove to me you have not been goofing off and wasting my money.”
The son said, “Pi R square.
His father said, “I knew it! You have been goofing off, any fool knows corn bread are square and pie are round.”
