I've always maintained that it is a terrible idea to mix alcohol and calculus; it isn't safe to drink and derive. ;)
 
As a trained mechanical engineer, i hate math puns and mathematical joviality in general.

The mathematicians at uni used to make fun of us engineers. Doing math coz we had to (usually not very well either), not coz we wanted to.
 
BIT IFFY,
I'd have responded that you were doing Maths because you could use it rather than as an act of onanism. (& let's face THEY would've moved onto being Maths teachers - teaching the incomprehensible to the uncomprehending).
 
For the math people; Did you hear about the constipated mathematician? He worked it out with a pencil! :p

For the engineers; An optimist sees the glass as being 1/2 full, the pessimist sees the glass as being 1/2 empty, and the engineer only knows that the glass is twice as big as it needs to be. :p:p
