Education and agriculture

An old farmer works extra hard to make sure his son can go to college.

After the first year his boy returns home looking dapper and intelligent.

"So tell me son, what ya been studyin'" asks the farmer.

"Well lately pa we've been studying geometry" the young man replies.

"Well, speak to me in some of that geometry so I can hear how smart y'are becomin'" the farmer says.

"Uhm, ok, how about this: PI R Squared."

"Well, that's real impressive son," the farmer says struggling to keep the disappointment off his face, "now your mother'd love to see you so get on into the house."

As soon as the boy is in the door the old farmer shakes his head and grumbles to his self:
"All that money down the drain, any fool knows PI R round, Cornbread R Square!"

LOL, that's a good one! But around here even cornbread is round (we make it in an iron skillet).
