Well done.

But Dick- I thought the CBS evening news won that for its liberal media bias?

Here! Here! Very funny.
In the spirit of satire, at times (perhaps because I’m new to EphBlog) I wonder if bloggers or moderators, such as DKane, would prefer to write “Off with her/his head” rather than request more information. Often asking for substantiation appears like a facade of defensiveness.

Happy Unbirthday to me!

… and many happy unreturns!
In the book, between Alice and Humpty:
“I mean, what is an un-birthday present?”
“A present given when it isn’t your birthday, of course.”
Alice considered a little. “I like birthday presents best,” she said at last.
“You don’t know what you’re talking about!” cried Humpty Dumpty. “How many days are there in a year?”
“Three hundred and sixty-five,” said Alice.
“And how many birthdays have you?”
“One.”
“And if you take one from three hundred and sixty-five, what remains?”
“Three hundred and sixty-four, of course.”
Humpty Dumpty looked doubtful. “I’d rather see that done on paper,” he said.
Alice couldn’t help smiling as she took out her memorandum-book, and worked the sum for him:
365

___
364
___
Humpty Dumpty took the book, and looked at it carefully. “That seems to be done right — ” he began.
“You’re holding it upside down!” Alice interrupted.
“To be sure I was!” Humpty Dumpty said gaily, as he turned it round for him. “I thought it looked a little queer. As I was saying, that seems to be done right — though I haven’t time to look it over thoroughly just now — and that shows that there are three hundred and sixty-four days when you might get un-birthday presents — ”
“Certainly,”‘ said Alice.
“And only one for birthday presents, you know. There’s glory for you!” .
Or, if you prefer Disney and Ed Wynn:

“You are Old, Father Rechtal”, the young man said (etc etc etc).
Clean Cup!!
