I have a shirt that I love from ThinkGeek. It reads:
2 + 2 = 5
(for extremely large values of 2)
This is through-and-through a math joke, to the point that I think few people who see it really get how funny it is. Niall doesn’t get it, either, but at least he’s super-gracious about it:
“Daddy, I know you really like that shirt, but I don’t want you to store two-plus-two-equals-five in your brain, because two-plus-two-equals-four. OK?”
