A mathematician, a physicist and an engineer are led into a long room. At the other end stands a beautiful naked woman. “When I ring this bell,” she says" you may cross half the space between us. When I ring the bell again, you may again cross half the space between us." Both the mathematician and physicist groan and wander off. “Ah, it’s Zeno’s paradox, we can never actually reach her.” The engineer, waiting for the bell, says “I think I can get close enough.”

why is there a naked woman?

For the joke to work.

i still don’t see what the point is.

Were you neutered as a child?

no i just don’t fucking understand why the naked woman matters here.

Could be fucking anything, a pile of a billion dollars. Three turtles, or a goat, it’s the same joke.

Exactly, it’s the same joke regardless so why get bent out of shape over it?

i mean yeah, i guess so, but that’s not what im confused over.

I just want to know why specifically it was written with a nude woman? It never alluded to anything in particular.

Is it really that confusing? If it had said there was a pot of gold the implication is clear that the person who reaches it will be rich. You ask “why a nude woman?” and the answer is simply because, just like being rich, desiring a sexual partner is a common desire.
