    An old joke, and a botched retelling at that.

    a. Not e^(2*pi), but e^(i*pi), which evaluates to -1.
    b. Add that to the sum of the series, and you get zero. That is, if the series starts at one and not zero, it isn't clear.
    c. That leaves 0.002, which would be the check writer's "two cents" if the decimal point were in the right place. But it isn't.

    It's actually quite simple:

    The product of a transcendental number with an imaginary number is used to raise the power of another transcendental number. That quantity, when combined with the distance one would travel after an infinite number of ever-smaller steps, yields precisely : NOTHING!

    Now that wasn't so bad, was it?
