  • Try this one: What’s wrong with the equation pi r square? Well, pi are round, cake are square — of course!
  • Or how about this: What do you call it when someone gets a giant tattoo of pi on their face? An irrational decision!

All those jokes making you hungry? It’s Pi Day, after all! Celebrate by baking a homemade pie (it’s a homonym — get it?), or pick up a delicious treat from your local bakery to share.
