I don't get it, could someone please explain?

A pig without pi is gravity.

Remove "pi" from pig and you get "g". And g = 9.81

Here I was like trying to square pi to see if that was the joke...

g is the acceleration applied by Earth's gravitational force (for masses much smaller than Earth's, that are pretty close, i.e. essentially everything you typically interact with) and is approximately 9.81 m/s^2
