Thanks for some good laughs. Now, if you’ll excuse me, there’s a mathematician who should be on the receiving end of most of these, so I need to start memorizing….
I only got the Oct 31 and Dec 25 because I did assembly language programming back in the 80s, so I had to learn not only base 10, but base 2, base 8 and base 16. Brought me back thirty years to get that one.
Actually, I didn’t get 4, 6, and 12. However, 2 and 11 are hysterical and I know at least one programmer who won’t understand why 19 is funny. Very Sheldon Cooperesque.
One of my favorite jokes is simply “Two scientists walk into a bar. The third one ducks.”
Unfortunately, most of the people I know would give me a blank stare at all of these except maybe 1. Which means I need smarter friends. (sigh)
PS: The words “assembly language programming” actually made me start to fall asleep a little. Kind of like when the mathematician tries to rip me away from a physics topic down some dull, grey tangent of advanced calculus. Zzzzzzzzzz.

The third should have walked into the bar as well to confirm the earlier hypothesis…
