OP is clearly a troll:

In fact, trolls traditionally count like this: one, two, three . . . many, and people assume this means they can have no grasp of higher numbers.
They don’t realize that many can be a number. As in: one, two,three, many, many-one, many-two, many-three, many many, many-many-one, many-many-two, many-many-three, many many many, many-many-many-one, many-many-many-two, many-many-many-three, LOTS.

It depends - are you Inigo Montoya?

I imagine their conversations go something like this:

“…unfortunately, they can no longer move anything else.”

It’s not my fault! The bigger boys tricked me!

I got the Oasis/roll with it bit (probably because I’m old), but I had to look up what oasis soup was.

OASIS (Oldways Africana Soup In Stories) is a celebratory anthology of culturally-informed soup recipes that seeks to foster and expand conversation about nutritional knowledge and Black women’s wellness.

Edit: Though the book may have been based on the original joke, come to think of it…

Not sure I’d categorise us as a civilised country at the moment, but in the UK it’s a full week before your employer can ask for a note: https://www.gov.uk/taking-sick-leave

Huh - I assumed they were the same thing.
I wonder if it never aired in the UK…

Cosby predates One Foot in the Grave - I remember watching Cosby as a kid in the 80s, and OFitG didn’t show up until the 90s. OFitG became (I think) Curb Your Enthusiam.

I’ve been working in Primary School IT for the past 20 years - I can guarantee that IT (if they were asked at all) told the school how many PCs would fit, and were ignored because they ‘need enough for a full class!’

It’s infuriating.
