> [@Inigo Montoya](#): > > People in England have only one spoon. And it’s your only spoon for your whole life. And if you lose your spoon you could starve, unless someone else dies and wills you their spoon. And they have spoon millionaires in England. I hesitate to bring any facts (or sense) to this thread but I would like to say that I live in England and I have a set of spoons. There is also a saying over here “he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth” (meaning your family is well off financially). But to keep in the spirit of the OP: - if you take the ‘he’ out of ‘father’ you get ‘fart’ 😃 - why is abbreviated a short word? ---

I fed that post into yer run the MD5 algorithm, applied my own mystical mathematical manipulations (details provided upon request). Can you guess what number I arrived at? 42 Don’t dismiss this. It is the ultimate answer! ---

should read “…yer run of the mill MD5 algorithm…” I have an unexplained aversion to “of” and “mill” for obvious reasons (“of” has two letters, the second of which, when divided by… ah, you guys see it without help from me, right?) ---

All jokes aside, (aren’t there seven levels?)–I feel for the person (female) in Seattle who may be receivng a visit from our esteemed OP. Creepy. I am somewhat squiked out because I know a Greg. Always seemed quite normal to me, but then, he was born in 1962, not 63. Heading into the Light now, buh-bye. ---

No. No! You don’t say? Do you have sayings like “pip, pip old chap” and “Tally hooooo!” too? Boy, the things I, as an American, learn about our English cousins on a message board. Whole set of spoons! Who knew? ---
