TTH's sad story, "I don't have dominoes"


What about Bananas?


TTH said; there's a fruit store on our street
It's run by a Greek.
And he keeps good things to eat
But you should hear him speak!

When you ask him anything, he never answers "no".
He just "yes"es you to death,
And as he takes your dough, he tells you...

"Yes! We have no bananas
We have no bananas today!!
We have string beans and onions, cabBAges and scallions
And all kinds of fruit and say
We have an old fashioned toMAHto
A Long Island poTAHto, but

Yes! We have no bananas
We have no bananas today!"

Business got so good for him that he wrote home today,
"Send me Mark and Thoh and Him; I need help right away."
When he got them in the store, there was fun, you bet.
Someone asked for "sparrow grass"
and then the whole quartet
All answered:

"Yes, we have no bananas
We have-a no bananas today.
Just try those coconuts
Those wall-nuts and doughnuts
There ain't many nuts like they.
We'll sell you two kinds of red herring,
Dark brown, and ball-bearing.
But yes, we have no bananas
We have no bananas today."

1. The range (statistical sense) of the numbers in my list is 93.
2. One of my numbers is an abundant number between 21 and 25.
3. One of the numbers in my list is a perfect cube less than 10.
4. The arithmetic mean of the numbers in my list is 40.
5. The mode of the list is the sum of the first two perfect numbers.
6. The median of the numbers in my list is 29.5.
7. The largest number in my list is the smallest 3-digit palindrome.
8. The sum of the digits of one of the numbers is its square root.

What are the eight numbers Question


8 13 24 25 34 34 81 101
1. 101 - 8 = 93
2. abundant numbers are 12 18 20 24 30... so 24 is between 21 and 25
3. 8 = 2^3 and < 10
4. sum of #s is 320 and 320/8 = 40
5. 1st 2 perfect numbers are 6 and 28. 6+28=34. 34 is most frequent
6. median is (25+34)/2=59/2=29.5
7. 101 is smallest 3 digit palindrome
8. sqrt(81)=9=8+1

Stormy:

The 1,2,3 leading up to the minute was supposed to represent seconds; However you still got: = second nature Cool


My bad; gee I hate that expression; I don't even know why I don't use it more often. I think the problem would work better this way round.

Etc writes, "i ~ apaulajize…" That is just too funny - I Caesar. Razz


"A man walks into a package store and buy's everything in sight, is he having a party or trying to build up enough courage to go to confession."



Same guy walks into a bar with a pet alligator by his side. He puts the alligator up on the bar. He turns to the astonished patrons. "I'll make you a deal. I'll open this alligator's mouth and place my genitals inside. Then the gator will close his mouth for one minute. He'll then open his mouth and I'll remove my unit unscathed. In return for witnessing this spectacle, each of you will buy me a drink."

The crowd murmured their approval. The man stood up on the bar, dropped his trousers, and placed his privates in the alligator's open mouth. The gator closed his mouth as the crowd gasped. After a minute, the man grabbed a beer bottle and rapped the alligator hard on the top of its head. The gator opened his mouth and the man removed his genitals unscathed as promised.

The crowd cheered and the first of his free drinks were delivered. The man stood up again and made another offer. "I'll pay anyone $100 who's willing to give it a try". A hush fell over the crowd.

After a while, a hand went up in the back of the bar. *** timidly spoke up. "I'll try, but you have to promise not to hit me on the head with the beer bottle"… Laughing Laughing Laughing

Now, after the party he has the courage to go to confession. What more can I say already? :wink:




"Isn't it funny how a little different perspective makes it easy..."


Ain't that the truth. 2 Cents

TTH:

PEAK
II and PEAK+II both mean the same thing. It's really just a matter of how you pronounce the word pecan. If you say pecan, with the last syllable sounding like 'an' then PEAK+II makes more sense. If you say pecan with the last syllable sounding more like 'on' then the other one makes sense, as it did to me. Everyone is entitled to their own dialect. Very Happy

Thanks Stormwatch, I did not know the different pronunciations on that word probably because I don't like pecan pie. I pronounce it "an" so now it makes sense.
