That one was funny the first 12,000 times I read it on Free Republic.
The 12,000th time it was funny and the 12,001st time it wasn't? Didn't you think about that when it happened?
I took the inverse ratio of lima beans to fruit flies, divided by the number of blue moons in 1957 (being sure to factor in the frequency of ear creases in Utah on any given day in March) and voila!
12,001 was just one too many.
Trust me. It's all very scientific and provable beyond a doubt. Balancing the equation is all that matters.
Thus, 3 = 1 is just for pesky malcontents, among whom I count myself fortunate.
