Happy i day
SCENE: M.A.A. STUDENT CHAPTER MEETING, sparcely populated by STUDENTS and PROFESSORS. Student president BEN, seated at the front of the room, is inexplicably wearing a faded tee-shirt that reads “COLLEGE MOM.” TRAVIS, a professor, is among the group.
BEN: I hope everyone had a good Pi Day yesterday.
The STUDENTS and PROFESSORS murmur assent.
BEN: Any ideas on what we should do for Pi Day next year?
TRAVIS: No, but I would like to propose that we set aside the day after, March 15, to celebrate the square root of minus one.
BEN: March 15?
TRAVIS: Yeah. I figure we can call it the “i’s of March.”
(Pause.)
The STUDENTS groan collectively.
BEN: Oh man, that’s terrible. Just terrible.
TRAVIS: I’m not taking abuse from a guy in a tee-shirt that says COLLEGE MOM.
(Pause.)
BEN: Et tu, Brutus?
Dammit Kowalski!!! I can’t read that and not laugh (or at least giggle like a little girl to myself), it’s like holding in a sneeze. I might crack a rib.
This site seems more appropiate for the both of you:

Good to see I made the blog. Though from now on I will beware the Ides of March.

I don’t get it, and I consider my self beeing a person with a very strange sense of humor. What’s so funny about the “Happy i day” and “i’s of March” ?

That sounds like something my best friend would say. The “i’s of March.” It is so horrible it has to be funny.
http://reallyfunnyshirts.com is a place for you if you find that funny.
