I'm old as fuck and need new material for my course outlines (Precalc level).

A mathematician, an engineer, and a statistician go deer hunting. After a while, they spot one.
The mathematician does some detailed calculations, takes aim, and shoots. However, having forgotten to account for the wind, the shot lands 5 metres to the left of its mark.
The engineer steps up, and, seeing the mathematician's mistake, points the rifle somewhere off to the right and shoots. Having overcompensated, the shot lands 5 metres to the right of the deer.
The statistician yells "We got' em boys!"

TL;DR Mathematicians are too abstract and pure to consider real life adjustments like wind.

Engineers dont actually create anything just adjust based on other people's previous creations.

Statisticians use averages not individuals to describe their world (5 to the left and 5 to the right gives an average of 0)

Take for example the idea that you are gay. You love to suck that dick/vag all day and all night. The statistician knows that 10% of everyone is gay like yourself. If someone put 20 people in a room including yourself knowing that you were the only gay person, instead of saying that you are obviously the only gay one he would be adamant that there ought to be 2. The statistician chose to evaluate the world on stats rather than specific information.
Thus, they are a slave to stats, hilarity ensues.

Honestly though, math doesn't get funny until the advanced undergraduate level

But by all means, pack a bunch of "haha geddit, drink and DERIVE"-tier """"""jokes"""""" on everything if you want to identify the pseuds and suckups.
