Sit, Cauchy, Sit
Since my past few days have been an unending supply of Kleenex, antibiotics and water, I am afraid I have nothing exciting to share. I am too sick to be active, interesting or productive in physics, so that leaves this blog in a bit of a hopeless state. In lieu of excitement, I offer a joke. Okay, I think this might be funny to about 5 people out there. But for you 5 people, enjoy the joke.
Two friends accidentally meet while out walking. One just got a new dog and his friend asks his name. It's Cauchy. Cauchy? What a strange name. Why did you name him that? Because he leaves a residue around every pole.
Mark my words, my first dog will be named Cauchy and I will giggle like a little girl every time I call his name.
p.s. If you didn't get the joke and are interested in becoming a little more geeky (to each their own) – click for Cauchy.
I get it. For a math joke, it's very funny. For a regular joke, it's still funny.

Hi!
That *was* funny. I bet there are more than five of us.
Hope you're getting better.

LOL!!! Now my repertoire of math jokes has doubled in size!
p.s. What's purple and commutes?

Unless it's a removable pole (like the leg of a policeman), say.

Then I think I would still giggle like a little girl.
