Alien Math Before the Interview

BABE DO YOU HAVE A SECOND? NOT REALLY, I HAVE TO GET SOME BEER. I WAS JUST THINKING IF ALIENS CAME TO EARTH WOULD THEY USE THE SAME MATH AS US? I MEAN NO MATTER WHAT PLANET YOU'RE FROM TWO PLUS TWO STILL EQUALS FOUR. I KNOW... I KNOW I JUST... I MEAN THEY'D HAVE DIFFERENT SYMBOLS BUT THE CONCEPT WOULD STILL BE THE SAME RIGHT? JESUS FUCK KAREN I HAVE A JOB INTERVIEW LATER AND THIS IS THE ONLY THING I'LL BE ABLE TO THINK ABOUT

A woman in bed asks her partner whether aliens would use the same mathematics as humans. He tries to dismiss the question, but becomes increasingly anxious because he has a job interview later and knows the bizarre thought will distract him. The joke is about an absurd philosophical question becoming impossible to stop thinking about at the worst possible time.
