#36: There Will Never Be Another You

Retirement beckons: I'm heading to the University of Chicago for graduate school in financial mathematics! Look for the new website "Mathematician Dan" in which I will post a new differential equation every day. (Just kidding. Sort of.) ... Today at Nordstrom, a woman asked me the following question: "Is that canoodling?" She evidently meant this in some musical sense, but I've never heard it used that way.
