🐐April Goat Fool 01
13Welcome to my goatdom, peasants pheasants turkeys. 
At least one of you voted for me, so now all of you get something that somebody deserves. Probably.
I’ve expected this for a few days now, once I realized I had been nominated (and that no one else had) … though I imagined a little more fanfare. So here I am faring by my own fan. (I have never before noticed the lack of a “fan” emoji.)
I spent those days occasionally pondering what I should do with my reign. Or reins. (I already got rain while camping this past week.) The simplest answer is “nothing” — but that’s also the least fun answer. And if Meh won’t sell me with things my wife would let me buy a second time, then it should at least be fun, right?
I considered pulling the best April Fools prank ever seen in the Meh forum⁽ᶜᶦᵗᵃᵗᶦᵒⁿ ⁿᵉᵉᵈᵉᵈ⁾ — I would declare myself not the goat. Ha-ha! Fooled you! So funny!
But pranks often backfire, and that one would probably have made me the permanent goat forevermore.
So I’ll just hang around normally. Or tangentially. That’s just a little math joke for ya. (at what point do you start regretting your vote?)

@werehatrack That’s one of my favorites. I contemplated using it at some point this month, but I don’t really have enough [good] math jokes to make a theme of it.
The only thing I’d change: I heard it first with “
is” instead of “equals” (which I think makes the syllables just a little bit better).@xobzoo Agreed about the change, that’s how I did it when I printed this on T-shirts. Math on one side, words on the other.
@werehatrack My other favorite uses calculus, so it’s not as approachable by the public in general. But, for those who’ve at least had the class, even if you don’t remember how to use it:
(I had to search a long time to get a clear picture of the equation using the right variable. Ultimately had to generate one.)
You guys are sick. Thanks. I… Think?
