You've got far too much time on your hands.

 

[duffshot]

try doing it backwards now

 

[oz_mark]

I'll get you started....

There were infinite green bottles, hanging on the wall.

Now how fruitless would that be? I would end up with nothing.

Oh, and some advice to all you gentlemen out there. Listen to your wife/girlfriend when she tells you about the significant things in her life. My wife asked me the other day what her favourite flower was. I can't tell you how angry she was when I responded self raising.

Surely you'd end up with minus infinity.

Did she come at you with her rolling pin?

I try not to deal in negative terms. I prefer to be like an atom who has lost an electron.

A hydrogen atom lost its electron and went to the police station to file a missing electron report. He was questioned ... "I'm positive." replied the atom.

Probably better than calling her a "Plain Flower"

How long does it take you to count to infinity once :?:

I've counted to infinity, twice.

How long does it take you to count to infinity once :?:

Half as long as doing it twice.

Last year I was checking in. I told the ticket lady, "Send one of my bags to Darwin, send one to Perth, and send one to Hobart." She said, "We can't do that!" I told her, "You did it last week!"

Classic. Hope it is not a true story.

They changed their policy to prevent people doing this.

I was hoping the part where "You did it last week!" was not a true story.

Not the answer I had in mind.

Rephrase the question.

"How much time does it take you to count to infinity once :?:"

 

[MetroAir]

It's all relative.

Rephrase the question.

"How much time does it take you to count to infinity once :?:"

Rephrase the answer

Half the time it takes to count to infinity twice

You should change your name to Alec because you are real smart. :wink:

Anyone care to provide an answer on how long it would take someone to count to infinity.

Please note "half the time it takes to count to infinity twice" is not a real answer. :roll:

 

[oz_mark]

As I was once told in a maths class about things that converge at infinity - It takes a very long time.

Depends upon how fast or slow you count :wink: :wink: :wink:

I'll have to dig up some notes from my studies in computer networks. Somewhere in them is some stuff about the count to infinity problem and how it takes a long time.
