Distress Jokes

A Calculus Carol
written by: Denis Gannon (1940-1991)
sung to the tune of "Oh, Christmas Tree"
Oh, Calculus; Oh, Calculus,
How tough are both your branches.
Oh, Calculus; Oh, Calculus,
To pass what are my chances?
Derivatives I cannot take,
At integrals my fingers shake.
Oh, Calculus; Oh, Calculus,
How tough are both your branches.
Oh, Calculus; Oh, Calculus,
Your theorems I can't master.
Oh, Calculus; Oh, Calculus,
My Proofs are a disaster.
You pull a trick out of the air,
Or find a reason, God knows where.
Oh, Calculus; Oh, Calculus,
Your theorems I can't master.
Oh, Calculus; Oh, Calculus,
Your problems do distress me.
Oh, Calculus; Oh, Calculus,
Related rates depress me.
I walk toward lampposts in my sleep,
And running water makes me weep.
Oh, Calculus; Oh, Calculus,
Your problems do distress me.
Oh, Calculus; Oh, Calculus,
My limit I am reaching.
Oh, more...

"SPOT!" she called out sharply. "I've got it made," thought the fellow to himself, "one more and I'll feel fine." So he let loose a really big one. "SPOT!!!" shrieked the mother. "Get over here before he shits on you!"

`You seem to be in some distress,' said the kindly judge to the witness. `Is anything the matter?'`Well, your Honour,' said the witness, `I swore to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, but every time I try, some lawyer objects.'

Two guys were out hunting and they got lost.
The first guy says to the second guy, "What do you think we should do?"
The second guy says, "Let's fire three shots into the air. It's the international distress code."
They fire three shots into the air, wait an hour, and nobody comes. The first guy says to the second guy, "What do you think we should do now?"
The second guy says, "Let's fire three more shots into the air."
They fire three more shots into the air, wait an hour, and nobody comes. The first guy says, "What do you think we should do now?"

The first guy says, "Well I sure hope someone comes soon, these are my last three arrows!".
