Anybody could’ve given Caulfield a chemistry lesson by telling him Mrs Olsen and puns don’t mix.

Punning in class isn’t up to Mrs Olsen’s standards. He keeps trying anyway.

Good math puns.

I happen to know a Gus, so this will be real easy to work into conversation.

Interesting observation

Wunderkind strikes again.

If the square of his theory doesn’t add to the square of her theory then you don’t get the square of anyone’s hypothenuse.

just like all those patents in Edison’s name

There were these three Native American women – squaws – who were all pregnant and about to give birth. One sat on a lion skin, one sat on a bear skin, and one sat on a hippopotamus skin. The one on the lion skin gave birth to a son. The one on the bear skin gave birth to two sons – twins. But the one on the hippopotamus skin gave birth the THREE SONS. Triplets. Which proves that the squaw on the hippopotamus is equal to the sons of the squaws on the other two hides.

I get the pun, but it’s even lamer than Stephan’s puns!

Behold…

A friend of mine remarked that most of the tenets in science and math that are named after a person are named after the person who popularized them, who was usually — after further investigation revealed earlier research in the area — the 3rd or 4th person to actually make the discovery.

right, back to Edison who didn’t invent the light bulb

If I wanted stupid puns, I’d read “Pearls Before Swine.”

I thought he was angling towards an argument against having to show your work when problem-solving.
