The other day my wife and I were walking to the store to buy a pie.
Wife: “We should have pie à la mode.”
Me: “If one used distributed computing to find new digits of pi, that would be pi à la modem.”
Wife: “What would the mode of pi be?”
Me: “The most frequent digit in pi.”
Wife: “Wouldn’t that be a finger?”
Life is good.

Thanks, Janet. Surely not better than Dr. Johnson’s definition of “lexicographer”?

That was last week. I have since then endured a week of drudgery. I hope it was harmless.

I am going to need a new drum if I have to keep making these rimshots.

Yeah, I think that about myself all the time.
