\(\displaystyle \begin{array}{c} \text{Number Fun} \\ \\ \text{If a picture is worth ten thousand words,} \\ \text{then one twenty-five-hundredths of a picture} \\ \text{should be worth four words.} \\ \\ \text{And if Helen of Troy had the face} \\ \text{that launched a thousand ships,}\\ \text{and a picture is worth ten thousand words,} \\ \text{doesn't that mean one picture of Helen's face} \\ \text{should be worth ten million ships?} \\ \\ \text{And, if the night has a thousand eyes,} \\ \text{and getting there is half the fun,} \\ \text{that means to have fun getting there at night} \\ \text{would require five hundred eyes.} \\ \\

\text{And, if getting there is half the fun,} \\ \text{and half a loaf is better than none,} \\ \text{would getting halfway there with a whole loaf} \\ \text{be more or less fun?} \\ \\

\text{And if half a loaf is better than none,} \\ \text{the night has a thousand eyes,} \\ \text{getting there is half the fun,} \\ \text{and Helen of Troy had the face} \\ \text{that launched a thousand ships,} \\ \text{then in a picture taken at night} \\ \text{from a ship that is halfway there,} \\ \text{how much fun would Helen be having} \\ \text{if she were holding a full loaf?} \\ \text{And could you see it it in her eyes?} \\ \\

\text{Okay, now suppose Helen of Troy} \\ \text{lived in a halfway house . . .} \\ \\ \sim\text{ George Carlin } \sim \end{array}\)
