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.
