I gave a presentation on November 19, 1999. To warm up the audience, I started with a slide with the dates August 28, 888, November 19, 1999, February 2, 2000, and January 1, 3111 and asked what was unusual about these dates.
I then pointed out that November 19, 1999 (11/19/1999) would be the last date that could be expressed in only odd numbers until January 1, 3111 (1/1/3111).
I also pointed out that on February 2, 2000 (2/2/2000), we would have the first date that could be expressed in only even numbers since August 28, 888 (8/28/888).
The next date that can be expressed in only even numbers is coming up tomorrow: June 22, 2026 (6/22/2026).
I say, I say, what do you get if you pick a pig’s nose?
A ham booger.
There’s more than one way to skin a cat…
…but there’s no way to do it so that the cat likes it.
While the World Cup’s been on my wife has been moaning at me for watching every single match.
For example the other night it was Qatar vs Switzerland. She said “I bet you can’t even name 3 Qatar players!” Well I proved her wrong, I confidently replied: “Eric Clapton, Hank Marvin and Jimi Hendrix!”
so God calls up Moses and tells him he’s got good news and bad news for him
Moses: well, what’s the good news?
God: those 10 plagues you ordered–you got them
Moses: well, what is the bad news?
God: you’ve got to do the EPA report
For me, the joke doesn’t work well, only because I know the two words are so closely related, etymologically. (Also French parler=to speak, and Spanish palabra=word).
The joke is the Australian reputation of being populated by animals, insects, fish, … that will kill you in an unguarded instant. While untrue, less than 86% will kill you, the idea persists.
