She was wondering why he has not yet told anything.His silence was killing her and so she started the conversation.
She- What’s the date today?
He- 29th Oct, 14
She- (in a cold tone) What is special about today?
He- (adjusting his tie in front of the mirror) Yes! Today’s date 29 is a prime number.
She- (little infuriated)- Anything else?
He- (thinks)- Well yes, if we write the date as 29.10.2014 then sum of digits is 19 which is also a prime number.That’s strange! But why are you asking;
(He was so excited that she has started taking interest in numbers as well. When he looks at her; she was staring at him with a look that showed- “This guy is hopelessly unromantic”
She- (tries to control her anger and asks in a calm tone) Anything special about this day dear with respect to us?
He- Yes, the sum of our wedding date 29.10.2012 is 17 which is also a prime number. See I still rememberrrrrr….Oh dang….
Hey Darling! Happy 2nd Wedding Anniversary! Oh! 2nd..great.. that’s also a prime number.
He got death stares!

What is the difference between a auto mechanic and a quantum mechanic?

With a quantum mechanic, you take your car in and it's random whether it gets fixed and how much you are charged. Whereas with an auto mechanic... no, wait a minute...fresh_42 said:
