Lost in Chat Translation

My husband is working in Nigeria for the next few weeks so we don't get to talk on the phone very much.  However, we do get to chat online quite often.  Sometimes our conversations are quite serious.  Other times, he may be having a bad day or is bored, so smart ass me tries to make a funny.  Occasionally things get lost in translation in the IM world.  The following is a great example.

My husband is extremely smart and has gift for math, so I thought it would be fun to give him a math joke.  I read this on the internet a few weeks ago and found it quite humorous, and thought he could appreciate it .  Besides, there aren't many people you can just walk up to and say, "Hey wanna hear a really funny sex/math joke?"

The following is the actual Facebook chat conversation.  I didn't edit it or delete anything, it's just too funny the way it is.  I love my husband dearly, and am so grateful that he is so smart and has a great sense of humor so he can appreciate this silly moment between us as much I do.
