A bespectacled professor in a shirt and tie stands at a green chalkboard, holding a pointer, his eyes blank white. The chalkboard shows a physics equation involving a lowercase sigma. He lectures: "Imagine an infinitely thin rod. Visualize it but don't laugh at it. I know it's difficult. Now, the following equations hold for..." The caption beneath reads: "Professor Ridley's cry for help goes unnoticed." The joke is that the professor is struggling not to laugh at the innuendo of an "infinitely thin rod" and the phallic-looking math symbols, but the students don't realize he's pleading for help. Votey (aftercomic): handwritten text alone reads, "I just noticed how much lower case sigma looks like a wiener."
