Green Eggs and Ham in Graphs
Dr. Seuss in graphs: the more Sam-I-Am asks, the less likely anyone is to try his obviously moldy green eggs and ham. A decaying curve, with diminishing returns on nagging.
Transcript
[Graph: "likelihood of me trying your obviously moldy food" vs. "number of times you ask me," decaying toward zero]
"I do not like Green Eggs and Ham. I do not like them, Sam I Am. And the more you beg and beg, it makes me want to throw each egg at your house, at your car, at the irksome pest you are: questions never finishing, usefulness diminishing."
