Yeah ... I grok.
My 2nd ex used to take it pretty badly when I would talk to the kids about different sized infinities. [countable vs uncountable] Of course, the phrases "countably infinite" and "uncountably infinite" *do* sound rather odd, don't they?
How about we start a thread on 'favorite (or really sick) math jokes'?

Prof - "Because it's not safe to drink and derive!"

Q - What's purple and commutes?

I've always appreciated the seemingly contradictory phrases like
"bounded but infinite".
