Happy PI Day from the Monroe Chapter of NYSSPE!

Did you know you can tell someone's profession by asking them, "What is PI?"

Ask the mathematician: "It ratio of the circumference of the circle to the diameter." (they don't want to be nailed down to a specific number)

Ask the physicist: 3.141592653589793238462643383279... (you will have to ask them to stop)

Ask the engineer: "It's about 3; but I'd use 4 to be safe." (they don't want to get blamed)

Ask the CEO: "Dessert I believe, but I asked for cake."

Ask the manager: "When do you need to know by? I am going to need more people."

Ask the salesman: "The engineers will tell you 3, but I can get it to you for 2.6. OK, 2.4 is my lowest offer!"
