[OnTopic:] A Story...

[Brother-Peter]

The ark lands after The Flood.
Noah lets all the animals out.
Says, "Go and multiply."
Several months pass.
Noah decides to check up on the animals.
All are doing fine except a pair of snakes.
"What's the problem?" says Noah.
"Cut down some trees and let us live there", say the snakes.
Noah follows their advice.
Several more weeks pass.
Noah checks on the snakes again.
Lots of little snakes, everybody is happy.
Noah asks, "Want to tell me how the trees helped?"
"Certainly", say the snakes.
"We're adders, and we need logs to multiply."

I know a worse joke. What goes, "pieces of seven, pieces of seven"?

A parroty error.

Since snakes have no legs, surely they'd use slide rules?

Only if they have the right scales.

When graphing, do you think they use hisstograms?
