I usually get the geeky humor, but i cant get this one. And google isnt helpful. Anyone care to give a fellow geek a hint ? :)

I’m just going to let the bad joke about the Tube Lemma make itself.

Oooh…does Sock Munkres have anything about Teddy Baer Addition?

Hooray!!! I have a 1974 copy of Munkres’ that I first stumbled upon in my Freshman year of college. By the time I was finished with his excellent introduction to set theory and logic I had already decided I wanted to be a mathematician.
