I deal with positive & negative numbers all shift when it comes to water elevations. I NEVER say: "minus"... Always: "negative." I guess I learned that in Math Class somewhere along the way.
It drives me wild like a math teacher when people say the lower pool, canal elevation is MINUS 2.56... NO! It's NEGATIVE 2.56. OR we could just all talk in positive numbers and say: 576.92 (feet above sea level).😏
Minus represents an operation, negative is a number.
I guess my math teacher is proud somewhere knowing I am calling numbers by their proper name, even adding & subtracting (minusing😏) them the correct way!

My family went over to our next door neighbors because they had a color tv. I fell asleep and missed the first step. My mother said she didn’t wake me because I was tired. 😩
What was color TV gonna do? Westinghouse invented a special B&W camera:😜

You're on a game show, and you're given the choice of three doors: Behind one door is a prize, behind the others, nothing.
You pick door No. 1
The game show host, who knows what's behind the doors, opens door No. 3, which of course has nothing behind it.
He then says to you, "Do you want to pick door No. 2?"
Is it to your advantage to switch your choice to door No.2?
Explain why or why not.
Yes. Change.
The "Monty Hall Problem."
Changing choice has now a 2/3 probability of winning, keeping original choice 1/3.
Always change choice in that situation.

A man was found dead in his study. He was slumped over his desk and a gun was in his hand. There was a cassette recorder on his desk. When the police entered the room and pressed the play button on the tape recorder they heard: "I can't go on. I have nothing to live for." Then there was the sound of a gunshot. How did the detective immediately know that the man had been murdered and it wasn't a suicide?
WOW... Is this a Millennial/Gen Z brain teaser or what!
Oh... The cleaning lady rewound it.😜

Maybe better than big ones: lack of shame... Poor choice of words on my part. Bold.

Having a guide drive you around a fenced property so you can use a rifle to take down a clueless animal that you're not even going to eat most certainly does not take "big ones", neither balls nor brains.
Feeling the need to brag about it afterwards is embarrassingly pathetic. Considering how he played football, it was pretty much what you'd expect.
Oh... Sorry. I meant big ones to post it on SocialMedia... He had to know he would be ripped for it.

...Four cars come to a four-way stop, all coming from a different direction. They can’t decide who got there first, so they all go forward at the same time. They do not crash into each other, but all four cars go. How is this possible?

True. They could have had the son out of wedlock when she was 19 & him 44.
Sicko... lol
