Show me a man who counts on his fingers, and I'll show you a digital computer.
Show me a useless exponent, and I'll show you one.
Show me how to partition six, and I'll show you how to do it to two, too.
Show me a glib salesman, and I'll show you a line.
Show me an eratic teenager with no personal income, and I'll show you a dependent variable.
Show me a skier in a miscalculated jump, and I'll show you a slope-intercept form.
Show me a homicidal hippie, and I'll show you a square shooter.
Show me a desegregated school, and I'll show you integration.
Show me a roulette player who likes to play numbers of the form 2n + 1, and I'll show you a man who has the odds in his favor.
Show me a protest march, and I'll show you some radical signs.
Show me a brooding hen, and I'll show you a nested set.
Show me a police state, and I'll show you the law of the mean.
Show me the checkbook balances during a long vacation, and I'll show you a monotonically decreasing function.
