Reality Check by Dave Whamond for February 22, 2016

But what if you have 16.5 sheep? Do you round up to 17, or start hunting for a wolf?

great toon, took me a little while to get it (I shouldn’t admit that)!

This made me chuckle.

I wonder how many of them fell asleep trying to count their sheep.You can round up your answer.

Bats, it’s a math joke…

Must be tax time in the US.

three sheeps to the wind???

It was funnier the first time—sometime last year, I believe.

There was a Far Side once, where a sheep couple open their door, and there is a sleeping census taker on their porch. IT was brilliant.

17 rounded up to the nearest 10’s is 20.

A farmer has a talking dog. One day he says to the dog, “it’s getting dark—go bring the sheep into the pen for the night.” The dog replies, “consider it done,” and takes off. Shortly he returns and says, “okay, all 40 sheep present and accounted for.” The farmer says—slowly—“I only have 36 sheep.” The dog replies, “Yes, I know. I rounded up.”
