Pi and Cornbread

Yesterday was Pi Day, the day celebrating the famous irrational number that starts with 3.14 and carries out into eternity. When I think of Pi, I think of wrestling around with the area of a circle in junior high. Back in those days, when I was sitting at the kitchen table trying to do my homework, my father was fond of telling me the following:

"Pie-Are-Square? No. Pie-Are-Not-Square. Cornbread-Are-Square. Pie-Are-Round."

I do not know if my delight in such ridiculous humor is due to nature or nurture, but it has certainly manifested itself in either case.
