Okay, let me try something else then.
An algebra student, a geometry student, and a caclulus student are all given a length of fence and told to enclose the biggest area possible with it.
The algebra student makes a square; not bad for his level.
The geometry student makes a circle, thus maximizing the area. She turns to the calculus student and says "I'd like to see you beat that!"
So the calculus student takes a very small part of the fence, wraps it around himself, and loudly declares "I define myself to be on the outside of the fence!"
