51 SQUARES OF SHINGLES EQUALS HOW MANY BUNDLES OF SHINGLES

What type of shingles? I can hear you just fine, by the way. Tom

Andy replies:

Typically 3 bundles to a square.

100 square feet to a square.

The bundles are constructed to a given weight so that one man can
conveniently carry it up a ladder..... or not so conveniently,
depending
on the man :)))

If it is different anywhere else, I've never run into it...

Add $20 to each one beyond the first, and append $3F.

That DOES mean something, it's just that you may not know what.

I don't think Benjamin Franklin actually said this. I looked it up,
and one problem is that lunch wasn't a (common?) word then. Plus I
think there is no record that he said it.

OK!

As a clue, I liked writing assembly language programs for the
Commodore-64. That (different) use of '$' is important. The last 'F'
is not a typo.

So, you think he wouldn't have said "lunch". He would have had a word
for it although it could be one that most people don't know now. It
that case, it was translated into modern English.

It's more commonly translated as "dinner".
Although that doesn't speak to whether he actually said it.

I always used "dinner" to mean a special occasion. Regular meals were
"lunch" and "supper". Different people do it differently.

Maybe he did.

I still wouldn't want to include that attribution if he didn't.

Someday. maybe I'll fix it to these sig quotes change automatically.
