Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.

THANK YOU! For the FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE, I get this joke.

Obviously Groucho is famous for it. And I never, ever understood it. At most, I would imagine a banana flying through the air, which made no sense, so I would just shrug. Never got it.

Now, with the help of the context of this article, finally, finally, I get it.

I am weeping with relief.

Now... do you have any calculus jokes?
