"Porn star suspended after colleagues find footage of her moonlighting as a teacher"

From The Daily Mail:

A porn actress has been suspended from her job after she was allegedly discovered starring in a 'maths tutorial' video by her regular fans. She is under contract to Richard B Haydock Adult Entertainment in Oxnard, California, but has been put on paid administrative leave while film producers decide her fate.

Jeff Chancer, head of casting, said that a fellow porn actress believes the star is the one seen in the video. "We're trying to determine if there's a nexus on what she does on her own time and what she does in the studio."

Regular readers of the company's magazines are believed to have found the ten-minute YouTube video on calculus on Friday. When challenged, the studio initially denied the claims that one of their actors had a teaching diploma after they said they could not find the completely innocent video on the internet.

Two mathematicians are in a bar. The first one says to the second that the average person knows very little about basic mathematics. The second one disagrees, and claims that most people can cope with a reasonable amount of math.

The first mathematician goes off to the washroom, and in his absence the second calls over the waitress. He tells her here's fifty dollars, that in a few minutes, after his friend has returned, he will call her over and ask her a question. All she has to do is answer "one third x cubed."

She repeats "one thir -- dex cue"?
He repeats "one third x cubed".
She asks, "one thir dex cuebd?"
"Yes, that's right," he says.
So she agrees, and goes off mumbling to herself, "one thir dex cuebd...".
The first guy returns and the second proposes a bet of a hundred dollars to prove his point, that most people do know something about basic math. He says he will ask the blonde waitress an integral, and the first laughingly agrees. The second man calls over the waitress and asks "what is the integral of x squared?". The waitress says "one third x cubed" and while walking away, turns back and says over her shoulder "plus a constant!"

yet the US public school system (like ours) will never fire a teacher for not being able to teach.
