Tom Lehrer was great.

When he went national and all that did he give up the math part, did he write papers? (Rather than just grading them🙂

The Little Nash Rambler

You know, a funny thing happened at work. A bunch of people here are from India.
I have a project I am working on that needed an old time transistor radio.
So I found one at a yard sale, working yet!
I turned it on and it was playing a local talk show.
I said to this woman co-worker, look at this.
She stared at it, looked it up and down and said with amazement, 'What is it"?
Too young to recognize what it was🙂
