Legend has it that basketball used to be played with glass beads, and we only started using rubber balls in the 1800s.

Switching was indeed a marbleless idea.

Why did the gender nonconforming prospector travel west in the 1800s?

Because there's gold in them/their hills.

Imagine you're in the 1800s....

You're in a large city with a great port. You're in a nicer part of town, away from the water, in a nice inn. You're having a meal of potatoes. You look down - there's a toe! The toe smells like tar and fish. It stinks. Your neighbor leans over and says, "P.U.! That's not just any toe!! That's a portmanteau!"

Got a workmate yesterday. Surprised myself with it too.

Me: I just found out yesterday that 1800 (one eight hundred) phone numbers are free to call.

Him: Yeah, that's why they're 1800 numbers.

Me: But 1300 phone numbers charge to call.

Him: Yeah, they charge a local call cost from landlines.

Me: You'd think they'd make the 1300 numbers free calls. Then they'd be "one free hundred".

My Western Civ teacher pulled out this one

We were talking about a peasant revolution in the 1800's in Sicily.

Classmate: So, why were the peasants revolting?

Teacher: Well that's a mean thing to say.
