I hope you're not confusing "manyfold" with "manifold". That's a different joke to mine.
But not quite a differentiable manyfold joke. At least not yet. Let's make it into one.

I can never remember how many t's there are in "sss ttt tuh tuh tttt er"
This should go well with my triple-syllable sentences:

Map:
1)Will Diego go golfing ----> Will Diego-go go-go go-golfing?

2) The Banana narratives ----> The Banana na na-na narratives.

Common, no one else for triple-syllables?

More than 3 syllables alliteration:

"Great green Grecian grapes greet gritty grinning grifter Gretchen Green grabbing groceries."

[grifter = slang for thief.]

Actually received a mathematics degree; but it only covers integers. Good thing I became a programmer. < zing! >

"1 and 1 and 1 is 3; got to code in FORTRAN 'cause the compiler's more robust than C ... Come together.."

Why depressed people like Beatles music:
"Sing it now: 'One + one + one make three..' ...Paul is DEAD!"

One day a year they let me call a hyperbolic trig function, but only up to a limit, and I have to return it in identical form.

Last year a spline accidentally broke the transcendental function. So, this year I only get to borrow a Taylor series. Shucks.

I don't know about Mersenne but I surely would be a Mercenary at that price! (in $ or €) ...

The issue was fixed thanks to the Tata Tax system. Ta-ta-ta
Or:

Or, as mfb's one : I will have a Muon On Onion.
