Actually the "perfect pitch" joke (here in a simpler version) is actually a joke function:


joke(X_) = Perfect pitch: the ability to throw X_ into a dumpster without hitting the sides.

Of course: X_ is replaced by an element of the set {an accordion, a banjo, a viola,...}



This raises the question of the natural domain of this function.

For example, I contend "up" is in the domain (try it!)


Yes there are mathematicians who are musicians. And some like me who do a mediocre imitation of both. (and maybe an even more mediocre imitation of Zouki.)
