Hi Sue.
No problem. I actually find that I have to explain a lot of my jokes.
Unfortunately, once I've finished most people find themselves more confused
than they originally were.
René Descartes was a fifteenth? century philosopher whose most famous
statement was "I think therefore I am."
So, when he walks into the bar and says "I think not" the listener is
supposed to infer "therefore, I am not" and poof he disappears.
Yeah, I know it's pretty lame.
If you want more information ask Scott. He's the one who started this by
calling me impulsive--or was it compulsive.

Bob,
I don't get the joke. Will you explain it to me, please?

Thanks Scott, I think.
Reminds me of a joke:
René Descarte walks into a bar and the bartender says "same thing as usual
René?" to which Descarte responds "I think not." And he disappears.

Truly compulsive. I knew there was a reason you were a good Bookshare
volunteer.

Gee thanks Scottt.
Now I can stay awake tonight figuring out: how old am I? (hope it has a wide
display). How long has it been since I got up this morning? How long has it
been since I did my last calculation with this thing? How long has it been
since the big bang.
You get the picture.
Actually, I love date calculators.

There's an app for that:

You can calculate the number of days between dates.

Wow! You and Doug are pretty close together, Scott! He broke his neck on
Sept 25, 1972, so if I figure right, that is 38 years, 6 months, 21 days.
But counting is not my strong suit...
