Pie Charts

Ok- sat and read stuff.  I have to be very educated with the next chapter, and I saw a pie chart in the book that I was reading which made me remember......

At Western Illinois University I took a public speaking class.  As I listened to what to do and not to do we were cautioned on humor.  The teacher stated basically don't do it.  So as I was sitting in class listening to the other speakers, and I was up the next day, I started to laugh.  I kept it to myself, but the professor caught on and shushed me.  You see, I needed to punch up my speech about how the military was spending $3000 on toilets, so I made a pie chart.  I went to the grocery store and bought a couple pies, and a black magic marker.  You wouldn't believe how well a black magic marker shows up on an apple pie. 

So it was my turn, I started, 5 minutes into the presentation I referenced my pie chart.  I kept going with a straight face- 15% went for this, 20% went for this, then some guy in the back basically yelled, hey that's a real pie.  It took a while for the class to calm down.  It was a real pie- I got an A for the speech, and I actually didn't eat the pie when I was done.

Happy Day.
