I miss y'all though

In physics, one common problem starts out "assume a spherical horse" .
I always heard it with a spherical cow. Maybe because cows are funnier than horses.
(Actually, it reminds me of an economics joke I heard in college. In microeconomics class. It goes thusly:
An engineer, a chemist, and an economist are trapped on a desert island. One day, a trunk full of canned goods washes up on shore, and they each try to figure out a way to get the cans open.
The engineer designs a catapult system involving palm trees in order to physically break the cans open.
The chemist works with coconut juice and sand to devise a solution that will eat through the tops of the cans.
The economist says "Okay, first assume we have a can opener...")

I still care about England and I've never seen it for myself.
Rosencrantz: What a shambles! We're just not getting anywhere! Not even England. And I don't believe in it anyway.
Guildenstern: In what?
Rosencrantz: England.
Guildenstern: Just a conspiracy of cartographers, you mean?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I still care about England and I've never seen it for myself.
Maybe if you had seen it, you wouldn't care.

Oh, and I love philosophy. Just not when it's about proving the existance of God.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
No, no, no. Proctologists look at prostates, so that they may prescribe unbelieveably expensive radiation and/or medication treatments, and take a cut thereby. Unlike psychiatry, I bet there isn't much in the way of inherent fascination drawing those particular specialists.
Wait: ita will turn out to be a proctologist in her spare time, and say, "My dad died of anal prolapse, and that is what got me started in medicine, you unfeeling turd!!"

Supposably he is answering all your questions now, although I am at work and can't look over his shoulder. By the end of this you will all be theists.
That is a joke.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
No, no, no. Proctologists look at prostates,
Oh.
I hope I haven't offended any proctologists.

Urology is good for those who suffer from urologic diseases, e.g. If your peter is a-burnin' I bet you're glad of the existence of urology.
Yes, this was rather my point.
