@ddbuskirk Al-Gebra should be declared a terrorist organisation and anyone fpund in possession of an Al-Gorithm should be executed.

But anyone with Al Gore Rythm deserves sympathy.

I had an old lady say to me, would you like Arabic numbers or Roman numerals on her clock ... "I don't want any of that arabic shit in my house" ... I explained to her what arabic numbers were and asked her to leave

Perfect. More than generous of you to actually explain first, + probably worth the lesson. 👍

Sometimes when I hang out on Mastodon for an hour or so, I keep seeing the same names contributing to the same collections of conversations that I'm in. I feel like there's just a dozen or so of us all sitting chatting together in a nice cozy room. . . . like the lounge... in a nursing home.🤣😂
(Sorry, there's probably only a couple of us who are actually 'of an age')

Is that you, sitting next to me ... Giggles ... Hugz

Yeah when I explained, in this case it was to show how dumb she was ... Giggles

And I hope she would never say anything like that again
