This just in:
A man has been fined the total amount of one pie because he poked it. Officials say that he is a serious offender and he is what you would call “a serial poker”.
This is not the first time first time this has happened; last year a man from Soviet Russia pied a poke and was eat to forced the pie whole and plate the metallic.
Seems my comment was really funny. Hope i can understand it one day…
This is all i found:
1. frain
To cease. What you ask someone to do before you ask them to refrain.
When the annoying fat girl says something she thinks is smart but is just stupid and fat, tell her to “Please frain!” When she continues, add “Refrain!”
Merde. This guy speaks English better than we better-than-English Americans do.

So, let me get this straight [sic] — there is “pay” when “you poke you”. So all I’d have to do is poke myself a few times, morning, noon, and night.

One pie is 8 cents and the other is 3. If I were to poke-a-pie, I would choose the 3 cent pie. Not because im cheap but because I could get more than one poke for my dime. But I gotta wonder why the other pie is over twice the cost of the cheap pie? If I poked it instead would it FEEL like I had poked twice? Then I wonder about the buns in the background. If I poked the cheap pie I might have enough to poke a few buns. crap. All this pie poking and buns is getting me all randy and stuff. I need friends. With pie and buns. Coughboobiescough.
I’m not sure that’s a 3. I think that’s the pie for tea-bagging.
The 8 center** may be the only one for poking. But you still might be able to afford it, since when if the pie realizes it’s you, it will feel cheapened instantly and you might get to end up with your five-fingers discounted.
_______
** relationship between the 8 center and “success” is discussed ad absurdum in a previous poke.
I would assume that the pies pictured in this fail are cold. If you want to fulfill a necropheliac fantasy and bang one of them, by all means, have at it.
I’m seeing it … oh you fukker!
Looks like that pi is going down just right.
brilliant
(I remain unclear as yet, however, if this is the ASCII A signification or has shifted 2 an M)
We will prove that pi is, in fact, a rational number, by induction on the number of decimal places, N, to which it is approximated. For small values of N, say 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4, this is the case as 3, 3.1, 3.14, 3.142, and 3.1416 are, in fact, rational numbers.
To prove the rationality of pi by induction, assume that an N-digit approximation of pi is rational. This number can be expressed as the fraction M/(10^N). Multiplying our approximation to pi, with N digits to the right of the decimal place, by (10^N) yields the integer M. Adding the next significant digit to pi can be said to involve multiplying both numerator and denominator by 10 and adding a number between between -5 and +5 (approximation) to the numerator. Since both (10^(N+1)) and (M*10+A) for A between -5 and 5 are integers, the (N+1)-digit approximation of pi is also rational. One can also see that adding one digit to the decimal representation of a rational number, without loss of generality, does not make an irrational number.
Therefore, by induction on the number of decimal places, pi is rational. Q.E.D.
Note that this proof can be used to prove the rationality of other mathematical constants, such as e, sqrt(2), etc.
Notice the handwriting on the new sign is different between sentences. I think they had “Do not laugh at sign” first, had to add an arrow because it was too self contained, and then people thought it was a joke so they added the bit at the bottom

When Bakers and humourless Internet users collide…
(When I say ‘humourless Internet users’, I do not mean to say all Internet users are humourless. Just the ones who can’t take a joke. Nor do I mean to say the Internet is humourless.)
Damn Anti-sex offenders laws! *shakes fist at sky.* I really hate the no poking rule at the strip clubs too. Although they ask for your money before you poke not after. Unlike this “bakery.”
The store is in Western Australia, and they are called custard tarts (so dont poke the $3 tarts!!). I know they are $3, cos it is my local bakery, I remember seeing the signs at the time. The store has since relocated, and all cakes are now out of poking reach! They are lovely asian owners who taking poking very seriously lol.
Whoa, dude. You’re entirely correct. You live near Ocean Keys then? >_> I actually submitted this after the store closed- but it’s still hilarious to me.
Even the =[ on the sign makes me want to laugh. It’s fun to imagine the employees in the back making =[ faces when I can’t help but guffaw for all the store to hear…
Did they really write $3 directly on the pie???? maybe its a licorice flavored marker!!!!!! that’d be fun I’d like color my tongue if i had markers like that!!! OMG im gonna patent that no one steal my idea!!!!! but if someone dies from ink poisoning then you can claim the idea…………………….

You poke the pie, you gotta pay for it. What happens in Vegas…

*lobs pi at fuzz*
Why can’t you be rational?
i can’t be.
Proof it.
Looks like I gotta go now.
Would someone please prove to me that you cannot prove a negative.
Found some nice reading on that question:
We will prove that pi is, in fact, a rational number, by induction on the number of decimal places, N, to which it is approximated. For small values of N, say 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4, this is the case as 3, 3.1, 3.14, 3.142, and 3.1416 are, in fact, rational numbers.
To prove the rationality of pi by induction, assume that an N-digit approximation of pi is rational. This number can be expressed as the fraction M/(10^N). Multiplying our approximation to pi, with N digits to the right of the decimal place, by (10^N) yields the integer M. Adding the next significant digit to pi can be said to involve multiplying both numerator and denominator by 10 and adding a number between between -5 and +5 (approximation) to the numerator. Since both (10^(N+1)) and (M*10+A) for A between -5 and 5 are integers, the (N+1)-digit approximation of pi is also rational. One can also see that adding one digit to the decimal representation of a rational number, without loss of generality, does not make an irrational number.
Therefore, by induction on the number of decimal places, pi is rational. Q.E.D.
Note that this proof can be used to prove the rationality of other mathematical constants, such as e, sqrt(2), etc.
Rational reasoning on an irrational subject.
Factor fails.

lol and after I poked the three cent pies – I’d laugh while staring at the sign.
Thank the Lord for you chaps, you cause me to chuckle, and wish that I had a pie to poke.
YOU LAUGHED AT THE SIGN
YOU PAY
SERIOUS POK’D PIEMAKER IS SERIOUS
Never laugh at a tart. Dangerous.
How about crossing the streams?
Haven’t you seen Ghostbusters? You must NOT cross the streams. Well, you can in Ghostbusters 2, but it was lame anyways.
Haven’t YOU seen Ghosbusters?
“You poke you pay” thats what she said! and now I have Herpies.
I like the Borg smiley…

When Bakers and humourless Internet users collide…
(When I say ‘humourless Internet users’, I do not mean to say all Internet users are humourless. Just the ones who can’t take a joke. Nor do I mean to say the Internet is humourless.)
I’d pay just to poke it, sure.
Hm. So they’re upset over pie-poking and sign-induced laughter. Then how about keeping the pies out of reach of the general poking public?
“Sorry for the inconvenience, we will be closed for the next two months to add a display case to prevent pies from being poked.”
Where can you buy a whole pie for $0.08… cheap pie win… or possibly future digestion fail.
Yeah, I hate these “no touching” rules. They seem to be everywhere….
Damn Anti-sex offenders laws! *shakes fist at sky.* I really hate the no poking rule at the strip clubs too. Although they ask for your money before you poke not after. Unlike this “bakery.”
I CAN poke my pie and EAT it, too!
too bad there isn’t any cake
Or pudding pie!
Why did that just come into my head?
LAST!
Failing to be correct about who posted the last comment FAIL.
ahhh… the old you poke u pay rule, gets u every time!

HAHA!
Little Jack Horner wanted for questioning.

The store is in Western Australia, and they are called custard tarts (so dont poke the $3 tarts!!). I know they are $3, cos it is my local bakery, I remember seeing the signs at the time. The store has since relocated, and all cakes are now out of poking reach! They are lovely asian owners who taking poking very seriously lol.
Whoa, dude. You’re entirely correct. You live near Ocean Keys then? >_> I actually submitted this after the store closed- but it’s still hilarious to me.
Even the =[ on the sign makes me want to laugh. It’s fun to imagine the employees in the back making =[ faces when I can’t help but guffaw for all the store to hear…
Did they really write $3 directly on the pie???? maybe its a licorice flavored marker!!!!!! that’d be fun I’d like color my tongue if i had markers like that!!! OMG im gonna patent that no one steal my idea!!!!! but if someone dies from ink poisoning then you can claim the idea…………………….
Hellz ya! custard for three cents!!!
awesome, i’m there!
I laughed so much i cried…
LOL how they put a angry face on second sign
i have heard some on else say that, turns out that he was pimping
