Mathematician: 1 is prime , 3 is prime, 5 is prime, 7 is prime, .... 11 is prime, so is 13 and therefore, by induction, all odd numbers are prime. QeD. Physicist: 1 is prime, 3 is prime, 5 is prime, 7 is prime, 9 .... 11 is prime, 13 is prime, .... all odd numbers are prime, 9 is just experimental error. Engineer: 1 is prime, 3 is prime, 5 is prime, 7 is prime, 9 is is a good approximation, 11 is prime, 13 is prime, .... therefore, all odd numbers are prime. _______________________ and in the same spirit .... Question: what is 2 + 2 ? Engineer: runs to the nearest vax .... comes back after a second or two and blurts, "the answer is 4.000000000 E+0" Mathematician: ponders the question for a while and states with bravado, "the answer is the summation as n goes from 0 to infinity of (3/4) raised to the nth power" Accountant: looks around warily and whispers, "what do you want it to be....?" _______________________ How do you make love to(another definition of "the most versatile word" see ref [1],[2],[3],[4]) a fat girl?
