A bunch of Polish scientists decided to flee their repressive government by hijacking an airliner and forcing the pilot to fly them to a western country. They drove to the airport, forced their way on board a large passenger jet, and found there was no pilot on board. Terrified, they listened as the sirens got louder. Finally, one of the scientists suggested that since he was an experimentalist, he would try to fly the aircraft.
He sat down at the controls and tried to figure them out. The sirens got louder and louder. Armed men surrounded the jet. The would be pilot’s friends cried out, “Please, please take off now!!! Hurry!!!”
The experimentalist calmly replied, “Have patience. I’m just a simple pole in a complex plane.”

Proof: We know that $1 = 100 cents Divide both sides by 100 $ 1/100 = 100/100 cents => $ 1/100 = 1 cent Take square root both side => squr($1/100) = squr (1 cent) => $ 1/10 = 1 cent Multiply both side by 10 => $1 = 10 cent
