I Differentiate You!
A mathematician went insane and believed that he was the differentiation operator. His friends had him placed in a mental hospital until he got better. All day he would go around frightening the other patients by staring at them and saying, "I differentiate you!"
One day he met a new patient, and true to form, he stared at him and said, "I differentiate you!" but for once, his victim's expression didn't change. Surprised, the mathematician marshalled his energies, stared fiercely at the new patient, and said loudly, "I differentiate you!" but still the other man had no reaction.
Finally, in frustration, the mathematician screamed out, "I DIFFERENTIATE YOU!"
The new patient calmly looked up and said, "You can differentiate me all you like; I'm e to the x."
(For those that haven't had calculus, if you differentiate e to the x, you get e to the x.)

See, I liked math until I hit pre-calc. Give me a good algebra problem any day, as long as it's not linear.
I nominated you for a Kreativ Blogger award today. Hop on over and see what you're in for now.
