A homework assignment
A math student is pestered by a
classmate who wants to copy his homework assignment. The student
hesitates, not only because he thinks it's wrong, but also because he
doesn't want to be sanctioned for aiding and abetting.
His classmate calms him down: "Nobody will be able to trace my homework to
you: I'll be changing the names of all the constants and variables: a to
b, x to y, and so on."
Not quite convinced, but eager to be left alone, the student hands his
completed assignment to the classmate for copying.
After the deadline, the student asks: "Did you really change the names of
all the variables?"
"Sure!" the classmate replies. "When you called a function f, I called it
g; when you called a variable x, I renamed it to y; and when you were
writing about the log of x+1, I called it the timber of x+1..."

Why did the chicken cross the

She was radiating with enthusiasm
as she crossed the road.
It didn’t. The
rotation of the earth made it appear to cross.
