Best maths analogies
I would like to collate some of the best/funniest analogies that people have learnt in maths from Secondary/Sixth Form teachers (or thought of themselves!).
Ones that I remember include:
The alphabetical mole (for remembering £D co-ordinates in order of their axis labels, xyz)
The multiplication rabbit and the addition adder (For remembering AND/OR rules on probability trees)
Reversing the function machine to rearrange formulae, creating a little 'poo' at the end.
Any others (and/or stories told to them!)

My penis. For exponential growth of Logs.
Asymptotes are like strippers.
You can get real close, but you can't touch.

asymptote=stripper...and if the asymptotes occur regularly in phase :/
asymptotes=stripper=faze
