What is your favorite kind of pie? It's International Pie Day!

I hadn't realized that today was International Pie Day until my 14-year-old kid client mentioned it on the way from a park to Guitar Center. I'm glad it's International Pie Day, as I love Chicken Pot Pie. I like 'em really hot. I think Swanson's is my favorite. I also like both banana cream pie and coconut cream pie. With lots of whip cream! I'm so happy that it's International Pie Day. What is your favorite kind of pie? What's that you say? It's not International Pie Day, but International Pi Day? Well, so what if people struggle with spelling? Wait. What are you're telling me? It's 3.14 (March 14), and that is the first few digits of pi, a number that goes on forever? And that it represents the ratio of a circle's diameter to it's circumference? That's too complicated for me. I only have pi memorized to a few digits: 3.141592654. But you're saying that this is a really important number because the circumference of a circle = 3.141592654 x its diameter? Stop being such a nerd. Oh, and the area of a circle = pi x r^2? Gimme a break! I just want to eat pi! What is your favorite kind of pi? I mean pie. To heck with those who can't spell.

Can't spell, bad grammar, no concept of shapes. "Pi are square." No, pie IS ROUND!!!! Make mine apple, with 3.14 ounces of vanilla ice cream on top.

I like humble pie myself. Maybe why I am not a big fan of sweets. My favorite pie is probably pecan or something if I had to choose. Salty to bring out the sweetness Math was never my thing after fourth grade. It became to complicated and I like simple. lol

@Shavkat Go to someone's outhouse. Relax, and poop. It takes 2 seconds to hear a "thump" sound. How deep is their outhouse pit?

You are so funny. I was just coming here to tell you it was Pi day but you got it covered. I would like some Pi(e) that goes on forever. My favorite is lemon meringue but I will settle for any fruit pie, also. Are you treating?

No it is not "International" Pie Day, but "National Pie Day", this is not something we celebrate in Europe because we do not write March 14 as 3/14, but 14/3. My favorite Pie is apple pie.
