We Brits had this all sorted out even before there were buildings that high by calling the 1st floor, the Ground Floor. Thus the 13th floor is numbered 12 and the floor numbered 13 is actually the 14th. The bad luck gets so confused about what floor it's supposed to be on that it simply disappears in a puff of logic.
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

I went out to dinner at a casino last night, and hit a Royal Flush on a poker machine while waiting for dinner.
Will Rogers never met me.

I think the best part would be seeing the look of confusion on many people's faces, while on faces of the chosen few the wry smile of understanding.

She's single...
She lives right across the street.
I can see her house from my living room.
I watched as she got home from work this evening.
I was surprised when she walked across the street and up my driveway.
She knocked on my door... I rushed to open it.
She looks at me, and says,
"I just got home, and I am so horny! I have this strong urge to have a good time, get drunk, and make love all night long! Are you busy tonight?"
I immediately replied, "Nope, I'm free... I have no plans at all!"
Then she said, "Good! In that case, could you watch my kids?"

A balding, white haired man walked into a jewelry store one Friday evening with a beautiful much younger lady at his side. He told the jeweler he was looking for a special ring for his girlfriend. The jeweler looked through his stock and brought out a $5,000 ring.
The man said, "No, I'd like to see something more special."
At that statement, the jeweler went to his special stock and brought another ring over. "Here's a stunning ring at only $40,000," the jeweler said.
The lady's eyes sparkled and her whole body trembled with excitement. The old man seeing this said, "We'll take it."
The jeweler asked how payment would be made and the man stated, "By check. I know you need to make sure my check is good, so I'll write it now and you can call the bank Monday to verify the funds. I'll pick the ring up Monday afternoon."
On Monday morning, the jeweler angrily phoned the old man and said, "Sir, there's no money in that account."
"I know," said the old man, "but let me tell you about my weekend."

Hi Mike. Still doing the standup! I host a monthly showcase in Chicago and host a weekly open mic, even had some semi-famous comics stop by!
I started a new job last month after 4.5 years at my old place, so I'll be here posting questions as I learn the new gig's tech stack!

Glad to hear your doing good wiz. When people stop posting on cp it's usually because they have a life and get busy with it but sometimes it's a more serious reason, glad yours is the former.
