Frictional Feline: When Physics Meets Poetry
The perfect fusion of poetry and physics! This limerick is a masterclass in scientific wordplay. The punchline shows the cat only learned the Greek letter "μ" (mu), which doubles as a physics symbol for the coefficient of friction. So the cat literally couldn't get any "farther" because... friction! Physics students everywhere are quietly snorting into their coffee right now. The best part? Purdue University is known for engineering, making this nerdy joke exponentially better. That kitten deserves at least partial credit on the next physics exam.

The Coefficient Of Feline Friction
This is peak academic humor that would make your physics professor snort coffee through their nose. The limerick sets up a tale about a Purdue student teaching a cat Greek letters, but the punchline is pure nerdy brilliance. The cat only learned "μ" (mu) - which is both a Greek letter AND the symbol for the coefficient of friction in physics equations. The visual pun works because the cat literally can't get any "farther" due to friction! It's the kind of joke that separates those who suffered through engineering mechanics from those who had a normal, happy college experience.
