Well, at least the bartender didn’t ask “why the long face?”
Llamas invented octal…
The fool. He could’ve placed a bet that his horse could talk!
Why would a horse use base 10? To avoid being shipped to the glue factory after causing his owner to lose a $50 bet.
Of course, of course.

Hooray for New Math

That only a child can do it!
Just today there was an article in the paper about horses having five toes.
And the house shouldn’t have said “ten” (cuz that’s 10 in base 10) but “one-zero” since that’s 10 in base 2.
All your base are belong to Mr. Ed.
I love the randomness of this strip!
