WASHINGTON, D.C.—Work on the bipartisan infrastructure bill in Congress has ground to a halt as nobody there is sure what number comes after trillion.
"I'm so glad we have been able to reach across the aisle on this bill," said House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy. "This should give us enough to dig a hole to the center of the earth and throw all the rest of our money in it, and then paint BLM murals on every road, and also fund the construction of 38 billion new Planned Parenthood locations. The most important part of this deal is that Mr. Potato Head will remain a male spud as God intended. Yay!"
"Now let's see. We have 998 trillion, 999 trillion, um... hey guys? What comes next? Sextillion? Googlyoctillion? Novemdecillion? Does anyone know how to look things up on the internet?"
The House floor was plunged into chaos as aides scrambled for calculators but they could find no calculators with big enough screens to hold all the zeros they were trying to put into the spending bill.
Eventually, Congress reached an agreement to just spend infinity money which pretty much covers any number without having to do the math. Republicans then bragged on social media about spending only one infinity instead of two infinity as the Democrats wanted.
We need to buy a whole roomfull of Abacus gadgets.
Maybe a couple of roomfulls!”
That’s easy. A jillion. Then bajillion. Then gajillion. Then it rolls to z: zillion, bazillion, gazillion. After that, you’re talking about real money.
Thanks for the post. That is some funny stuff and humor is the best weapon.
I sent a link to that article to my idiotic marxist brother. Just the headline alone is enough to send him into a fit of commie blather.
I’d like to answer that question for you guys. But the slidey thing came off my slide rule, and I can’t find it.
I’m starting to think my cat took it.
A Brazilian. After that a feller from Burkina Faso but I don’t know how it’s pronounced.
Quadrilillion.
Bazillion
Republicans then bragged on social media about spending only one infinity instead of two infinity as the Democrats wanted.
Then democrats countered by saying an infinite number
of women and children would be infinitely hurt more.
Don’t ask any kids in public schools.
A Polarisillion? Yamahallion? Kawasakillion?
Am I getting close?
😆
Silmarillion.
More generic and dare I say more clever?
It’s a Quad in post #2
maybe they should just knock 6 zeros off the currency and call them MegaDollars. Then they wouln’t need such big numbers and they could claim to have reduced spending...
Would be great if they even had a Bill....they don’t.
No fair, you looked it up.
Yes, I know it’s a quad. I was just having a bit of fun.
I figured that since you were naming brand, sort of.
