Took me an extra second to get it.

A Roman goes into a bar and the bartender asks him what he wants The Roman puts up 2 fingers and the barman gives him 5 pints.

“I before E except after C”.

My neighbor may have something to say about that.

(Going off on a tangent here…)

It’s i before e except in Budweiser.

I see what you did there.

I think this would be easier to see if all capital letters would be used.

Is the a rule for the “5” between the "E"s?

Roman spelling.

I, for one, like Roman numerals.

Why need an “i” at all? “Conceve” seems fine to me.

Weird…

What about the five near the end?

“…and when sounding like “a” as in neighbor and weigh, and on weekends and holidays, and all throughout May, and you’ll always be wrong no matter what you say." ~ Brian Regan, Stupid in School

Common core teaching?

Oh He5050, I can never remember that rule.

The Roman answer to everything. XLII

Did Roman paramedics refer to IVs as 4s?

Or, is it, and eye for an eye?
