For me the joke was the BAR was considered so good that the Army wouldn't issue it to the troops in WWI. They were afraid the Germans would capture one and copy it.

Actually, 13 is the feast and one of its neighbors is the Biryani: I would tell them Biryani factors as 23 29 , but I already have a reputation and I don't want to end up in a straight jacket.Ibix said:
