Summarise the directions of changes in Rudolph's marks, then have a look through the lyrics of "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer".pinball1970 said:I need a hint with this

Oh gawd, I didn't have the patience to sing the whole song in my head to the end. Thanks for the hint.Ibix said:Summarise the directions of changes in Rudolph's marks
It's definitely a groaner, but I snickered about it for quite a while after the groan.berkeman said:Oh gawd,
That seems more like a "why men shouldn't be in the military", no?WWGD said:
In an ideal world, neither should be. Edit: My whole point is this is funny at a superficial level. Edit: Which is what , imo, ' Lame Jokes' is about.Ibix said:That seems more like a "why men shouldn't be in the military", no?
If there were more than one George Takei, then they could be distracted by each other.Bandersnatch said:Clearly, only George Takei should be in the military.
History? What about all the other grades? I was trying to find connections to glowing noses and maintaining an A in Science.Ibix said:It's definitely a groaner, but I snickered about it for quite a while after the groan.
Too legit to hit. Don't hurt them, Hammer (US celebrities dish).Ibix said:Related: the Chief Stoker's Principle: if at first you don't succeed, hit it with a bigger hammer.

The worst thing is that for some, this is not a joke.kuruman said:That reminds of the three fundamental equations in Electrical Engineering
$$\begin{align} & V=IR \\ & I=V/R \\& R=V/I \end{align}$$
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.jack action said: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!"
