Last month, I got an email from a tutoring service (I don’t know why). In the body of the email were some algebra or calculus equations — you know, something mathy and then a short note below the that read,
“Can you solve our complicated problems?”
I was a bit insulted, so I sent an email back that said,
“Dear Sir or Madam,
“You shouldn’t look to someone else to solve your problems. How can you possibly grow into the best person you can be if you look to others to solve your problems for you?”
Funny, but I have yet to receive a response or another email.
One of these days I’m going to buy that tee shirt that says, “Dear Math, I’m not a therapist. Solve your own problems.”
I love that! where do they have that shirt! I wish I had known that when I got that email. Damn, Kathy! That would have been an even better response.
I found it here, on the Snorg Tees site:

They have a lot of really great tee shirts on that site. I have a few of them at home.
By the way, have you read any of my latest contributions? I’m trying to be a lot more prolific and, at the same time, be funny.
I agree Donna, problem solving baby steps . . . 1+1=2 then calulus, then how to keep a mother-in-law out of your personal business!! Baby steps . . . .
