The Dinette Set by Julie Larson for June 22, 2018

I had a circular slide rule, it was for drawing circles.

Burl didn’t need a pencil for math, cos he never came up with an answer to write down.

“Timesing”?

Just one more example of why these folks should never have been allowed to multiply.

I’m sure Burl was in special ed and their needs were minimal

I still have a couple of my old slide rules. Got my first one in 1957, I loved those things when I first got them! It still makes my skin crawl when I think about some idiot using their rule for a drafting straightedge.

I’d watch Stephen Hawking host Price if Right, at least once.

“And behind Door Number 2, is a massive object at a distance farther than our brains can even imagine. You can pick that door, but we won’t know what you’ve won until the light from it gets here in 4 billion years. "

Actually, they gave Burl two paint stir sticks from the hardware store held together by rubber bands and just told him it was a slide rule. To this day, he thinks the square root of TEL 4-5634 is MULIGANS HARDWARE.

I still have my multiplication table.
