There are exactly eight letters in the word opponent. "Exactly" 8? You sure it's not "approximately" 8?
Actually, from a scientific, technical point of view, there are approximately 7 letters in "opponent", for large values of '7'.

I taught physics for quite a few years. And my biology colleagues were always telling biology jokes. So finally I told them a physics joke: 1+1=3 for large values of 1.
They didnt get it.

I dated a Cajun woman for a while in the late 70’s. Breathtakingly beautiful. Couldn’t understand one word of what her father and mother said.

I'm pretty sure you were right the first time.
THEN HOW COULD HE HAVE BEEN ACCUSED OF ASKING A COUNTRY TO INVESTIGATE HIS OPPENENT?
OPPENENT must be the right way to spell it. ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU YELL!

"Dont be so quick to dismiss this post. I think he is trying to tell us something. There are exactly eight letters in the word opponent. An octopus has eight arms. Hot dog buns come eight to a pack. See how it all fits together?"
Best response of the year!!!!!!!

They didnt get it. My degree (back in the Stone Age of early 1970s) is in Physics; I understand!
I've had the good fortune to have worked in engineering companies throughout my career, so making techie jokes has been a viable option. Although a few times they flew over management's head, like the time I was discussing a development schedule, and referenced the run-up to a critical deadline as "panic is expected to increase as one over T-remaining".
I once tried to convince a friend who had just run a red-light, that if a cop showed up, he should argue that the light appeared green. He asked how to argue that red would appear green. I said, "Simple! Red looks like green, for short wavelengths of red." Unfortunately for my suggestion, no cop showed up, so I never learned whether it would have proved persuasive.
My favorite, though, was a charming love note I received decades ago:
"You are my knight in shining armor,
You are my ardent hero.
I love you as the limit of 1/x
As x approaches 0."
She was another techie, of course. :-)
