This well-dressed gentleman was the right way to make a good point for a while. He was always ready to take over the world of stereotypes with an amusing bait and switch phrase. Who was he in reality? Reddit initiated an investigation when a user claimed to have seen him in a college textbook. Brief Calculus: An Applied Approach, 9th edition, was used as evidence.
