Essentially the same joke:

My uncle died peacefully in his sleep.

Unlike his passengers.

My uncle died peacefully in his sleep.

Unlike his passengers.

The version I heard was: When I die, I want to go peacefully, in my sleep, like my uncle. Not all screaming and terrified like his passengers.

But, to be fair, I believe that, technically, the gestation time for an Osprey is more like 3 years.

VMLXAccording to:
https://byjus.com/maths/roman-numerals/

. When a symbol of a smaller value appears before a greater value symbol, it will be subtracted. For Example- IX = X – I = 10 – 1 = 9.

. The symbols V, L, and D are never subtracted, as they are not written before a greater value symbol.

I have not been able to find any information that the Romans depicted numbers as products of numerals. Please let us know if you find such.

Cheers,
Tom

VMLX

Please quote correctly! I wrote $\overline{V}MLX$!

That's why I used the overlined symbol. $\overline{V}=MMMMM>M.$

There are various ways to deal with numbers greater than a thousand. Overlining is one of them.
