labor quote. I thought it was funny. I dedicate it to Bryan for knowing at least the first hundred digits of the constant in question:


my sister's math class of high school freshmen: "What's e?"
teacher: "It stands for something that starts with E."
eager children: "Energy!"
teacher: "No, that's big E. This is little E."
*increasingly farfetched guesses*
teacher: "Here's a hint. It rhymes with 'boiler's constant'!"
*silence*
teacher: Euler!
