Teacher: "If I gave you 2 cats and another 2 cats and another 2, how many would you have?"
Johnny: "Seven."
Teacher: "No, listen carefully... If I gave you two cats, and another two cats and another two, how many would you have?"
Johnny: "Seven."
Teacher: "Let me put it to you differently. If I gave you two apples, and another two apples and another two, how many would you have?"
Johnny: "Six."
Teacher: "Good. Now if I gave you two cats, and another two cats and another two, how many would you have?"
Johnny: "Seven!"
Teacher: "Johnny, where in the heck do you get seven from?!"
Johnny: "Because I've already got a freaking cat!"

A farmer has a herd of one hundred cattle. When slaughtered, each cattle provides two sides of beef. If the farmer slaughters one cattle each week, how many cattle will remain after he has produced one-hundred-and-twenty sides of beef?

Depends when he wises up and buys a bull ...

Assume the herd is roughly 50% bulls and 50% cows.

All it takes is one bull: the gestation period of a cow is ~40 weeks, so if he starts by turning all but one of the bulls into steaks, it could go on for ever ...

Isn't that rather canabalistic given your avatar?

Well, it's not like that's a self-portrait. That's based on a photo of a bull at a county fair (L.A.?). He was probably the first against the wall when the fair closed.

40 will remain.

We planned to have a Christmas dinner with my daughter, her husband and our grandkids. But this morning my grand daughter started showing flu symptoms. Since my wife and I are over 70 in a high risk group, we have had to cancel our Christmas day plans just hours before the event that we really looked out to enjoy. Stupid virus!

Bummer, but be glad the symptoms didn't wait until tomorrow. We have to do plan B for dinner with the grand kids due to the weather. At any rate, Merry Christmas.
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

Dang Covid, like you we've not seen grandkids in so long they forgot us.
What will the new normal be?
I'm not sure how many cookies it makes to be happy, but so far it's not 27.

We stepped in when the local schools internetterized and helped the grandkids attending school via online classes. This went on for months until the schools closed for the holiday a week or so ago. I am afraid by now they regard socializing as having contact with images on a computer monitor!

With the current smut-phone based culture, isn't the the new norm?

I take it in quite the opposite sense. Avoiding the family gatherings, which have (like it or not) been prime spreaders of COVID, a bit of self denial, is not so high a price to pay for increasing my (and their) chances of living another day.
At least, whatever they have, wasn't asymptomatic.
So, we occasionally see the children/grandchildren on Zoom, or via a telephone call.
Certainly, withing the next couple of months, I'll have had one or both vaccinations. It's not as though there's no end in sight. Why screw the pooch, now?

No one in our family has symptoms, but because we live in a Tier 4 zone*, we were not allowed to mix with any of them. A half-hour Zoom call was the best we could do.
