Win Pi Day With These Math Jokes and Puns
Everyone can have a little fun in honor of March 14 a.k.a. Pi Day (3.14 — get it?). For starters, you can whip up a homemade pie in homonymic tribute. But even if you're not baking inclined, you can pull out some good, clean math humor in the Pi Day spirit.
Indeed, while pi is technically a mathematical constant — the ratio of the circumference of any circle to the diameter of that circle — it’s also an endless source of silly jokes guaranteed to crack up kids of all ages and adults alike (or at least, guaranteed to make them groan and sigh audibly at your corny dad joke-style humor).
Case in point: Why should you never start talking to pi at a party? Well, that’s because it goes on forever, of course! (See what we did there?) Or this brilliant quip: Why is pi so lucky in love? Because its love is infinite and non-repeating. (Zing!)
