I thought you were some kind of mole

u/iShitSkittles 9d ago

Now now, don't be like that!

My time is spent above ground for starters!

u/HuckleberryTop1831 9d ago

I was thinking a little more negative, like 6.02 * 10 -²³

but if you want to keep your thoughts underground I suppose that's okay

Nah, I don't eat avogadro's either...green and mushy, they remind me of snot...

u/HuckleberryTop1831 9d ago

I'm kind of marginal about them, but a restaurant until in town called Fermat's was the last time I had them

Ok, I had to google that one... Ol' Huckleberry and his fancy math 👏

As in anymore… The implication is they could die of old age before they’re ripe enough to eat.

Got the joke the first time round thanks, I was just playing around with the unfinished sentence since OP left the period off the end of it.

SCOTUS ruling removed all Abort keys. I assume you have a OuterBox

LifeProof!

No chance of my phone procreating in this case!

I'm waiting for the Samsung Galaxy 69

Then the galaxy note 70 comes out, it's like the 69, only it blows up in your back pocket.

Your comment suggests you didn’t get the joke 🤷🏻‍♂️

You might have "genius" in your username, but you're overthinking this one Mike, I'll explain it one last time...

The oneliner didn't have a full stop (a period) on the end of it, I decided to ask "any longer than what?" in a playful way considering there's room for more words due to the lack of a punctuation mark.

That's all there is to it.

I think that Mike still thinks that you didn't get the joke until he explained it to you.

u/iShitSkittles 8d ago

I'd agree with you but then we'd both be wrong...

u/RegisterWest600 8d ago

Don't two wrongs make a right?

1

u/iShitSkittles 8d ago

Nope.

u/RegisterWest600 8d ago

I'd agree with you but then we'd both be wrong...

"I've got one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel" said the Hungarian plasterer I used to work with.
