To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand mathematical analysis. The math is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of compactness most of the material will go over a typical student's head. There's also Rudin's gloomy outlook which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily on his previous experience at M.I.T. and its depressing setting. The fans understand this stuff they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realize they're not just funny- they say something deep about life. As a consequence, people who dislike analysis truly are idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in the joke "I wish I were your derivative so I could lie tangent to your curves", which itself itself is a crytic reference to Isaac Newton and his lifelong virginity. I'm smirking right now just imaging one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion trying to apply Lagrange multipliers to an examproblem. What fools.. how I pity them.

And yes, by the way, i DO have a Cantor set tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5% points of my Calculus grade (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothing personal kids.
