Library: A Tale of Two Majors

(Lights come up on a solitary man on stage, he slowly looks up) Narrator: I never once doubted that my major was tough. For I was a computer engineer, and I knew it was my own folly that put in those horrid computer labs until only the moon cast its light upon the earth. But, until that day I took economics, I had no idea how tough my major was compared to the others. I remeber that day, and it went....something like this... (Lights fade out center stage, and come up on the left where the narrator sits down and joins some other college students) Prof: And so one can clearly see that Y * sqrt I / sqrt Y goes to sqrt Y * sqrt I... Bill Gates Wanna Be #1: Wait, I don't get that, Explain it. Prof: (looking rather upset) Well...you know that Y = sqrt Y * sqrt Y right? Bill Gates Wanna Be #1: When was I supposed to have learned that? Not-so-bright Future Secretary: OH MY GOD! Does that work ALL the TIME?! Rather Worried Business Major #2: Is this gonna be on the test (points to the equation) cause it wasnt in the book and you never showed it to us until today. Pompous Burger King Manager #3: It better not be on the test, this is econ, not MATH! Complete Moron #4: I don't see *HOW* that square root thing will apply to what I'm gonna do for a job! (Lights fade out as narrator buries his head in the desk with a look of disgust and disbelief)
