          The Mathematics of a Boarding House

            (with Apologies to Stephen Leacock)

  1. Any landlady is an irregular polygon: that is a

  figure of many corners + much "side," and all

  landladies are equal to all other landladies.

  2. Any landlady can be reduced to terms by a

  series of propositions.

  3. A single room is one without magnitude

  and without dimensions.

  4. Any two Boarding House meals are not

  equal to two square meals.

  5. If two boarders occupy similar rooms

  and the wrangle between the one boarder

  and the landlady is equal to the wrangle

  between the landlady and the other

  boarder, then their bills will be equal -

  otherwise one will be greater than the

  other; then the latter will be less than it

  might have been, which is absurd.

  Thank you for the many kindnesses
