[ARC5] [BoatAnchors] Pi Are Round...

[mac]

The story as I remember it went something like this:

A boy from way back in the hills somewhere left home, went to college  
and majored in Electrical Engineering.  His father was very proud of  
him inasmuch as simply graduating from grade school was an uncommon  
achievement  in those parts.  Accordingly, the family held a party for  
him at Christmas break and invited all their friends and neighbors.   
During the course of the celebration and in front of all the guests  
the proud father said "son, say something in Engineering."  Caught by  
surprise the kid blurts out, "er.... Pi R squared"-- and everyone  
bursts out laughing.

After the party the father angrily confronts his son.  "I have never  
been so embarrassed in my life!  Pie are square?  Everybody knows pie  
are round....  CORNBREAD are square.  This is what the teach you at  
that expensive school?!"
