Mad Libs sparks discussion of infinity…
Z and I were doing Mad Libs tonight, when I called for “A Large Number.” She answered, “Infinity.” I was both stumped and kind of impressed. I also knew that “infinity” wouldn’t make for a really funny line (“….and pulled [LARGE NUMBER] feet of [SOMETHING SLIMY] out of my [PART OF CLOTHING]“). So I asked for another large number.
“Infinity is a large number.”
“I know, but it’s not really a number number.”
“Yes it is.”
“Not really, it’s not.”
“Yes it is.”
“No, technically it isn’t.”
“Yes it is.”
“Look, just pick another large number.”
“I choose infinity.”
“Alright, you can’t really choose infinity, since it technically isn’t really a number.”
“Then what is it?”
“A concept.”
“A concept?”
“Yes, a concept.”
“Can a concept be a number?”
“I suppose.”
“Good, then I choose infinity.”
Fine…
….So I decided to put on a magic show for everyone in [CHICAGO]. The audience gasped as I pulled a(n) [MOM] out of a hat, made a gigantic [TV] disappear into [FUNNY] air, pulled [INFINITY] feet of [FROG] out of my [UNDERWEAR], and sawed my pet [BEAR] in half….
There was laughter…
