Jason: One cheesy tortilla chip... Marcus: One cheesy tortilla chip... Jason: Two cheesy tortilla chips... Marcus: Three cheesy tortilla chips... Jason: Five cheesy tortilla chips... Marcus: Eight cheesy tortilla chips... Peter: Math geeks shouldn't be allowed anywhere near certain foods. Jason: What's wrong with fibonachos? Marcus: There're only 12 left...now what?
I always appreciate how Amend expects us to know and understand the joke, and doesnt have to explain it. The ‘Fibonachos’ punchline was great though! Amend gives his readers credit for being smart enough to get his jokes. Laugh, a search for fibonacho’s on Wiki actually refers you to fibonaci!
In the book/movie, “The Phantom Tollbooth” there is a well done sequance on the Fibonaci series. Tiger itt mentioned informing the masses, getting kids to read that book would do it. Or at least see the movie.
