Title: My Kind of Humour
Post by: Mince on June 25, 2008, 05:49:55 PM
I heard and loved this on the radio yesterday:

What do we want? - A new way of measuring time.

When do we want it? - In thirteen Fribbles.

Surely it would be plablone fribbles (not thirteen), as numerical units would alter too. Maybe language also?

Firstly, "rib-rib" is not hyphenated. Use "ribrib".

Secondly, "ob" is not a preposition. It should be "ab Mince".
