Last night wasn't too bad , I'm not bored at all......I just couldn't fathom out why there was 2,974 cornflakes in one packet and only 2,912 in another !!
Because there sold by weight and the 2nd box had slightly bigger ones.
Hmmmm, remind me not to ask you "How many ducks have three legs"
..... I don't think we have time for the resulting philosophical disussion!
Just because I'm paranoid, it doesn't mean they're not out to get me

The other answer is that the first box had some that were broken and that some were counted as two but should have been one. More to the point is why is expressman33 stockpiling cornflakes?

Because he can't climb over the 17,000 toilet rolls to go shopping......

My Nephew has got it
He's young and healthy and I suspect will ne fine
But he lives with his mum, my sister who is diabetic, overweight and has Crohns
I'm worried about her
People like you sister deserve the rest of us to stay away from each other. Sorry to hear she has Crohns which is a truly horrible disease that most people do not understand. Said a prayer for the family
