(TMRC) For any story, in any group of people there will be at least one person who has not heard the story. A refinement of the theorem states that there will be *exactly* one person (if there were more than one, it wouldn' t be as bad to re-tell the story). The name of this theorem is a play on a fundamental theorem in calculus. [ref="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=Jargon File">Jargon File] (1994-12-16)
