> [@roger thornhill](#): > > Never! > > Were you at all disappointed that the boys came in round numbers? Ever discussed pi with your wife? Mind you, I note you went for a prime number. When I was talking about plans for trying for a daughter, my wife said I was being irrational and to skip the WHILE GIRLS = 0 Loop (that contains the CONCEPTION SUBROUTINE)…since this did not factor into her plan. A new WHILE WIFE \<\> OVULATING Loop replaced the WHILE GIRLS = 0 Loop with ELSE statement that contains a CONDOM SUBROUTINE. This program is eventually converging upon a finite number of times that this new WHILE loop is being accessed as well. The SEX program will be terminated someday soon, and I for one will be disjointed. Pray for me. ---
