Title: "DO NOT DATE A MATHEMATICIAN." Panel 1: A red-haired woman in glasses stands talking to a brown-haired woman seated at a table. The red-haired woman says, "So, I dumped him." The seated woman asks, "Your fiance? Why?" The red-haired woman replies, "He demonstrated a poor understanding of probability." Panel 2, labeled "EARLIER...": The red-haired woman sits facing a brown-haired man in a suit who has his hand earnestly on his chest. She asks, "Do you believe in soulmates?" He enthusiastically answers, "Yes!" The joke: she rejects him because believing in one true soulmate is statistically implausible. Votey: A high-contrast black silhouette of the red-haired woman in profile facing the man, with a speech bubble where she declares, "Fool!"
