2 was enjoying a special position in the sequence of numbers. It was the only even prime number. All the other even numbers existed only because 2 existed. Heck, even computers ran on base-2.

As a result, 2 looked down upon all the other numbers, but no one could do anything about it.

3 and 5 conspired against 2 and decided they needed to do something so that it lost its powers. They kidnapped 2, and through magic divided 2’s powers equally among themselves. 2 ceased to exist. 3 and 5 both increased by 1.

Looking at 2’s dead body, they said, “Now we are even.”

After getting laid off of work I can no longer to be afford to be an amazon prime member…

I had to break it to my wife that we must now be

Amazon U.S.D.A. Choice members

What did amazon prime’s realtor say when they bought there land for there headquarters...

Now that’s some prime real estate

To cover up his butt quack.

I’m watching “Daddy‘s Home 2“ on Amazon Prime right now. I’m crying with laughter...it just hit me so funny.

For as long I can think of, anytime I would take my family out for supper at a restaurant, when our server would bring us the check I would in my best calm and collected demeanor advise our server "Oh table #?? said they were picking this up for us tonight", to which most servers just give a ya right smile or a simple haha nice try sir.

Well on this most recent adventure I see the check coming and get all primed and plot it all out. The server politely slides the check to me, I so graciously put my hand on it and slide it back with my recited lines delivered so perfectly "Oh yes I should have told you sooner that table 16 has offered to pick up the check tonight". Well our server burst out laughing, which to us was a surprise as its not as hilarious as she is now making it. Well when she finally stops laughing enough to talk, she so wonderfully delivers the message, "thats good to know sir - cause your sitting at table 16!"

Jokes on me! But it made for a great night of laugh at dad.

Edit - "demeanor" - where the frick was auto correct on that one. thx Enders!

Mom: Well how are you feeling being 17 now?

Dad: I bet he's feeling a little odd.

Collective groan

Dad: But at least he's in his prime!

My fiancée is building some custom frames for her capstone project. She's is going for a baroque theme and is planning on using them with some portrait shots she's taken over the past semester. They're primed white right now, but she's planning on painting them gold.

Me: "she's gonna paint them gold later."

Mom: "aww but I like the white!"

Me: "yeah but she's going for a baroque theme and that fits better I guess."

Dad: "well, if it ain't baroque don't fix it..."

So. Many. Groans.
