I'm concerned because some say worldwide there are over 9000 genitals.

Statistically, everyone has 1 labium and 1/2 a penis.

What are the odds?

Karate Bastard posted:

This also brings me to an uneasy question which I feel apprehensive asking, but hypothetically, if you were faced with 1,500 genitals, say if you were required to sign off on reception thereof, how would you go about counting them off to ensure you had indeed received exactly 1,500 genitals and not merely an approximation? I guess this ties back to the first question, but what would be the identification process? How would you itemize them? What would be the enumeration strategy?

At least the dicks should be pretty easy, assuming they are in the standard packaging (a bag). Everyone knows it's 15 per bag. 3 rows of 5. So just count bags and multiply by 15.

Of course the buns only come in packs of 8 because that's how they get you!

It is no sign of health to be well-adjusted to a profoundly sick society.
The obvious answer is to tag them like wildlife.

I'm concerned many of them will be still attached to people, or internal, or hopefully both. How do you count that? I don't even know for sure how many genitals go in a person? This is a terrible conundrum.

PBF did a similar but more straightforward gag in just 3 panels and even then they only really needed 2, they could have cut the first panel and shifted the speech bubble to the 2nd panel.

I lik how the volcano in the second panel is meant to be a stand-in for the male dinosaur's (Saurolophus?) sexual climax.

It's currently thought that most coal came from trees that couldn't biodegrade while most oil came from sea biomass at the bottom of the ocean.

In the preface to his novel-length treatment of Nightfall, Isaac Asimov explains to the reader that the use of terrestrial terms such as "meter" and "hour" was meant to avoid the introduction of distracting jargon, even though clearly an alien species evolving on a world far away and very different from ours would be using different ways to measure distance and time.

Also, despite what you might think from movies such as the Mankiewicz Julius Caesar and others, Romans did not simply speak English with Received Pronunciation.

I love that so many Americans can barely balance their checkbook or manage their lives but have a super encyclopedic knowledge of dinosaurs.

It really highlights the point at which the educational system failed most of the population.

Why would we? Electronic banking eliminated the need to reconcile your records with the bank. Log in to the bank site, make sure no erroneous transactions are there, and if you're feeling ambitious check the math. With fancy things like phone apps you can just check your balance any time you want instead of having to track that on paper.

Rhino, you did this to me!

I don't know if it's just that I tend to live in cheap places but every apartment I've rented required giving an actual check to the front office. Even the places I've just looked at around here have all said that payment is by check only.
