Wes Wolters
“I left my calculator in the fridge again this morning.”

Boy, that’s the worst. You have a big day of engineering in front of you, and it hits you: you forgot your calculator in the fridge. Rats! Wes carries his calculator in with his lunch so he doesn’t forget to bring it from home each morning, and sometimes it accidently goes straight into the office fridge upon his arrival. Which means… he’s doing calculator-required math at home in his free time? Let’s hope he’s just studying for the P.E. exam and not that bored.

Even though we engineers love math so much we could probably eat it for lunch, perhaps Wes might consider packing something a little more appetizing. Perhaps he could bring a fruit salad of apples, grapes, canta-slopes and tangent-erines? Maybe carrots, celery, and radii-shes? Or more realistically, since we tend to be more of a sweets crowd, he could share with all of us a couple slices of cherry “pi.

Hope your calculator quickly thaws for use, Wes. Because when math, food, and engineering collide, magic happens! And apparently bad puns, too.
