A newer twist on an old joke
A newer twist on an old joke
Scientists recently did a study on the effects the right side and left side of a brain had on counting. They first took out the left half of a woman's brain and asked her to count to 10.
She says, "2, 4, 6, 8, 10".
They put the left half back in and removed the right half, asking her to count to 10 again.
She says "1, 3, 5, 7, 9".
Finally they decided to just go for it and removed the whole brain. They again asked if she could count to 10.
She responded: hahahahahahahaha! Just read the articles about me counting to ten. I didn't not say I couldn't ever not enumerate numbers. Before you ask me to count to ten, ask the other people to count to ten. I could count to ten before I couldn't count to ten and after that and before hen too, and I assure you my counting wasn't marked at classified, even it you wipe it with a cloth. But in the interest of transparency - and I'm the most transparent counter - no, I won't release the transcripts of me counting until everyone does.
