Ooooh, that was close. My therapy is coming along well.

Some real sailor jokes...


I don't drink alcohol for religious reasons.

I drink it for other reasons.

I've decided to give up drinking alcohol for the month of September.

Edit: Sorry, bad punctuation.

I met a drunk ventriloquist who said she wanted to sleep with me...

I couldn't figure out whether it was her or the beer talking.

Oh, go on, please.


I don't see the inaccuracy

I think it has something to do with that curve....the curve does not appear linear to me...ie, that line may be tangential to the curve on the left, but not the curve on the right...do I get a pass grade

[MicHughV]

if curves have different radii.......they should also have different tangent lines....the tangent should be perpendicular to the radius....

[MicHughV]

although I might be wrong...trying to remember my math here....to join the perimeters of two different curves together requires the tangents to match...that right side curve may not be a radiused arc...

ok, I give up....

No, a major fail.

1. The curve is far from linear, but that is immaterial.

2. A tangent: a straight line or plane that touches a curve or curved surface at a point, but if extended does not cross it at that point.


A tangent to a "linear curve" is the same as the curve itself (linear means of the form ax+y i.e. a straight line).

See my previous post. Any curve will have an infinite number of tangents. One for each point on the curve.
