One day Joe Sine went to call on his new neighbors who lived in the

adjacent   house.   He was a handsome   tangent, a confirmed

bachelor.     Joe was met at the door by two sisters who had anything

but   congruent   figures.   The first, Deca Gon, had real

construction problems.     Her   discontinuous

curves were intersected at various   angles by   parallel

lines.     The second sister, Polly Gon, was dressed in a pretty

coordinate   set and it was obvious that her natural

curves ran into   imaginary   numbers.    Just looking

from the first to the second, Joe found his   interest

compounding rapidly.   What poor Joe did not know was that

Polly knew all the angles and was an expert at taking

squares.

 

Joe was invited to come in and sit down.   Deca proved to be as

square as she looked and just sat there like a   log.     Polly, at

a given sign,   sent Deca out to find some   roots to make tea.

While she was gone, Polly served Joe   sum pi.     Then she used

the   corresponding  angle and Joe was soon

reduced to   zero   power.

 

Next, she introduced an "If... Then  proposition."

That is, if Joe would marry her, then ...   Well, Joe said, "yes," but then

began to consider the possibility of spending the rest of his life

adjacent  to her side.     He began to get very nervous and his

head was going in   circles.   He knew she was a   complex

number and he was really afraid of her.     So, he tried to make her

think that he was   odd by asking, "Do   unit?", pretending that he

did.     When that didn't work, he stood up and announced that he was

going to the bus   terminal to   median, his true beloved.
