That was my intention. God only knows the actuality. With so many different nationalities living in my building (combined with my Senior Citizen brain-fog,) when someone in the elevator the other day asked me which floor I wanted, unconsciously I replied 'sip goh, bitte.' Unfortunately "15" is;
in Thai - sip ha in Japanese -ju goh ... and the 'bitte' was wrong as they were Italian! Stitchawl |

Why do you see so few chemistry jokes?
They only get added periodically. |

I'd advise him to get a Mac.

That report was obviously false from the start, how can such a performance driven secretive man come up front to admit such blunder anyway? They have IT personnel cramming the joint to a point where the only place to set foot is on the top of their heads...

I've decided that I will no longer use the number zero.
It means nothing to me. |

Several scientists were all posed the question "What is 2 * 2 ?"
The engineer whips out his slide rule¹ and shuffles it back and forth, and finally announces "3.99". The physicist consults his technical references, sets up the problem on his computer, and announces "it lies between 3.98 and 4.02".² The mathematician cogitates for a while, then announces "I can prove an answer exists!". The philosopher, smiling, asks "But what do you mean by 2 * 2 ?" The logician requests to "Please define 2 * 2 more precisely." The sociologist says "I don't know, but is was nice talking about it". "A polygamous mating system" claims the behavioral ecologist. "4" proudly says the medical student! All others looking astonished: "How did you know ??" ..."I memorized it." PoP's notes: Spoiler:
