I thought so. But I can’t see anything at all in @Knowed_Out’s post #3811 above. That’s why I asked him, because I didn’t think it was possible to do that. ---

He has a video link. For some reason you can’t see it, usually a browser/skin issue. ---

I thought the reason you can’t see anything in post #3811 is because there is no post #3811. 😉 All kidding aside, I didn’t see anything either until I reloaded the page three times. ---

> [@Monty](#): > > I thought the reason you can’t see anything in post #3811 is because there is no post #3811 Whoops! If I click on the time-since-posted at the upper right of the post, it does indeed say it’s post #3811, though. There must have been a lot of posts deleted from this thread – I think that’s what causes the discrepancies (smaller ones are pretty common) between post number in the sidebar and according to the post itself. (now where did I put that time machine . . . ) ---

It’s what happens when there are a lot of posts in the thread that you have on “ignore”. ---

How did I do what? It’s a vimeo link, and on my side, it looks like the first frame of the video. Anyway, it’s a snippet from an SNL skit of Chevy Chase as Gerald Ford debating Jimmy Carter. In response to a question about budgeting, Ford says “I was told there would be no math involved in this.” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/trolls-r-us-resurrections-part-1/950518.md?page=187) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/trolls-r-us-resurrections-part-1/950518.md?page=189)
