Yesterday I tried a science-based political pun/joke. It did not go well. Here it is for you to “enjoy”:
Given various reactions to recent events, I think it prudent to remind everyone that the following holds true in both physics and politics:
Well, what do you think?
If there’s pie involved I’m there…not a carnival booth with students tossing them, is it?…..oh, Ok everything’s a carnival these days
(Being rather dyslexic, and this forms not outline of a word that I’m familiar with, it only looks like a lovely stick figure drawing to me….things are far too sticky these days….)

Yeah. I figured it’d be too scientific for most people. It’s the basic law of pendulum motion.

I started to puzzle it out but we’re being invaded by not so mental giants for super bowl, and there’s a bit of a brain freeze HA HA
(We have one of those giant 2+ stories perpetual motion pendulums in the Museum of Natural Science which is totally mesmerizing..been a swinger for many many many years
(It was a cool post, just lazy today)

It’s ok, really. I’m a history guy, so a STEM joke was bound to fail.

To be fair, it’s not the kind of thing one memorizes.

At least let me guess this: m= speed of light? G = gravity? T= time? Jay please do explain the joke!

It was just supposed to be a visual joke: that with politics, as with physics, the pendulum swings both ways and how much one pulls back on the pendulum determines how far it will swing in the other direction.
