It's actually a great ice-breaker for first-year maths undergrads, when talking about limits or whatever drop in "... to infinity and beyond!", laughter follows, then say "You think I'm joking? Put down your pens ..." and informally outline the aleph hierarchy, then things get rather quiet.

Ahh I wish I had gotten the chance to interact with new math majors more often. In grad school most of my students were engineering majors. I'm not super likely to end up back in academia. My published research is...sparse. I have post-doc opportunity but it's not the greatest, and the route to life stability is not so clear. Are you a math professor?
