Too legit to hit. Don't hurt them, Hammer (US celebrities dish).

That reminds of the three fundamental equations in Electrical Engineering

If it doesn't fit, force it. If it breaks, it needed replacing anyway.

The worst thing is that for some, this is not a joke.

I remember meeting a retired electrician and he was so proud to show me: (1) he had a calculator; (2) he had a list of equations inside his calculator case, something like this (Yep, it is still available on the Web):

I only saw 2 [very simple, very basic] equations, that I know by heart even though electricity is not my domain. I wanted to tell him that it was just the same two equations rearranged differently, but I could see the mathematical concept would just go over his head. Still, he was proudly - half-joking, half-serious - saying stuff like: "See, I'm almost an engineer!"

No, this is no joke. I can see how the chart can be useful when people cannot trust themselves to do the required simple algebra in their heads. They don't want to build something only to discover that it cannot pass the smoke test.

History? What about all the other grades? I was trying to find connections to glowing noses and maintaining an A in Science.
That's what happens when you spend too much time deciphering physics jokes.
He should have gone from D- to A+ in gym.

I think improved grades in science and maths due to his contribution to novel flight navigational systems was warranted.
