My friend, Chris, whom I met in college, is getting his Ph.D in mathematics. That’s a pretty far cry from most of my readers. (Actually, maybe it isn’t and I just don’t know it — are any of you math people?) Even so, he sent me one of my favorite submissions yet.
I admired his Facebook status (“Chris should have majored in miracles.”) and he sent me something hilarious. It’s not grammar-oriented, but it’s amusing language.
This comes from a long math report, so it looks like it’s legitimate and not a joke. Check it out:
Love it. Love it. Love it.
Hi, I’m a “math guy” and read your blog regularly. Wikipedia has a page on the Cox-Zucker Machine:

The Cocksucker Machine! Oh man.
Hilarious! This may be the government’s ploy to lure more girls/women towards math
By the way, I too am a “math guy” with a soft spot for good grammar.
