Ellipticity

Yes, I know, I don't post that often. Not because of paucity of stuff, but mostly because integrals, elliptic ones at that, are ruining my life. However, just to prove that my imaginative faculty has not been dulled by the monotonous frequency at which nasty integrals rear their heads, I present to you a bawdy joke, hot off my oiled head.

A nubile young thing walks up to the boy manning the drug store and asks for some Vaseline. The boy hoping to show that his caring and sensitive side matched the NYT's curvacious ones, enquires, "Oh, you poor dear, do you have split lips?"

"No, and that is the bloody problem", snaps the NYT.

It sounds much better in Hindi...
Drugstore cowboy: Kya aapke honth phat rahe hain?
NYT: Nahin, wohi to samsya hai!

Modern women have left us behind. And not close enough for us to make use of the opportunity.

I agree, the joke may sound elliptical to most not in the know. C'est la vie.

Do professors, who live for/within elliptical integrals, really pay attention to other elliptical objects?
Whatever, these modern NYTs are too much! May both prof and drugstore boy come out of the shock soon..!
