x and e^x are walking down the street one day, having a good time and minding their own business... suddenly, the notorious tough-guy, derivative, walks out from an alleyway and x freezes... e^x asks him why he stopped and x points out that derivative is just up ahead... "if he sees us, he's going to turn me into a constant! a constant!" e^x replies "oh don't worry, i'm e^x, he can't do ANYTHING to me! i'll just go talk to him..." so e^x walks up to derivative and says "look, you think you're all tough, but i'm e^x, so you cant do ANYTHING to me... how about you just let me and my friend pass by and there wont be any trouble..." derivative just looks at e^x and replies "i can't do anything to you, eh? no trouble, eh? do you know who i am?" e^x, confused, responds "yeah, you're derivative... but i'm e^x, and no matter what you try to do to me, i'll still be e^x"... derivative just laughs, looks at e^x, and responds "i'm d/dy, bitch!
and i didnt quite get it until someone highlighted the 'd/dy'.. haha.. goes to show how crappy i am at calc... or how dysfuctional my brain is :p
