The Chief of the Kickapoo indian tribe had three lovely daughters of marriageable age. He sent a message to all the young braves of the Kickapoos to choose a bride...for a price, of course. The first young brave arrives, and finds that there are two deer skins on the ground, and a hippopotamus skin on the ground. Each of the chief's daughters sat on one of the skins.
The young brave asked the chief about one of the ladies on the first deer skin.
"That would be one hundred wampum" the chief said.
The brave asked about the second lady on the deer skin.
"Also one hundred wampum."
Then the brave asked about the lady on the hippopotamus skin.
"Two hundred wampum." the chief said.
The brave was mystified. All the ladies were lovely, but the third lady wasn't THAT much lovelier than the others.
"How come so expensive?" the brave asked.
The chief answered, "The squaw on the hippopotamus equals the sum of the squaws on the other two hides."

Must have been an Alaskan hippopotamus?
What's the matter with good, old fashioned, A^2 + B^2 = C^2?

Or it might have been a Montana Slow Elk.

I can't tell if that's just an old trig or a sine of the times.

I was always told never to cosine a loan. It could take me off on a tangent.

"The sum of the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the both adjacent sides"
Don't know from which film, though...

For you chemistry lovers, try this simple question? Left-over halloween candy to the winners. (Did not say which year) Okay, here goes:
How many holes can a mole of moles dig,
if each mole digs a mole of holes.

Also useful in deriving the length of speaders for a cubical quad antenna.

One mole squared or 3.6264484 × 10^47 holes and should provide enough dirt to make a mountain.

The one I remember is from the movie "The Wizard of Oz," when the scarecrow receives his "diploma..."
"The square of one side of an isosceles triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides."
Smart scarecrow, eh?

Congrats fellow Lab Rat. You hit it on the head. Certificate and half-eaten Milky Way is on its way to your QTH - even as we speak!
