Law of Diminishing Returns

In econs today, the teacher went through the Law of Diminishing Returns, and to help us understand it better she gave us this analogy: In a relationship, the best ratio is 1:1. When it becomes 1:2, girl 1 and girl 2 as the variable factors, there is a ratio problem. Less time spent nurturing relationship, more time spent fighting over fixed factor-the guy( in econs terms, less productive/ decreasing marginal profit). I can't rmb what exactly she said, so this is best as I can rmb, I found it pretty funny at the time.
And during math lecture last week, the teacher asked: What do I get when I substitute u into f(x)? And someone shouted out f u!
