"My belt holds up my pants. The pant's belt loops hold up the belt. So where does the credit go?" - Mitch Hedberg

I passed this joke on to my brother who provided a helpful analysis . id est "This is like saying a hanging man is holding up the noose."

Your body. The belt loops keep the belt tightened above your hip bones where, in theory at least, you're thinner. This means the belt keeps the pants from "expanding" and sliding down over your hips.

That's funny. You don't look like Sheldon Cooper.

The suspenders, so your pants are single fault tolerant.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

Reminds me of a incident from about half a century ago.
Right-ponders use the term "belt and braces" to describe conservative action - built-in backup. (Left-ponders may say "belt and suspenders", I don't know.)
I was discussing an electronics engineer's work with his boss, commented on what I thought was over-design.
The reply was "Mike doesn't just wear belt and braces, he stuffs helium balloons in his pants pockets!"
Still remember it all these years later.

That's for conserving gravity.

Test:
If you wear the pants without the belt, do they fall down?

Aside -- I mostly wear a belt to keep the holster for my phone from falling.

Hi Is anyone here planning to travel to see the total solar eclipse on April 8th?
It will only be visible in the western hemisphere.
My astronomy club is having a special event for the public on Sandy Hook NJ.
Have you made any plans to observe it?
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Nope. My wife and I watched the last one in Broken Bow, Nebraska.

Hopefully it will sunny in Montréal.
We'll get a minute or so of blackness.

No traveling, but I'll turn my head to watch it from my bedroom window.

It will be total here, so no need to travel unless it's overcast.

Hi All,
I know AI is all the rage at the moment, I have been wanting to try something since Co-pilot was installed in an update. A battle between ChapGPT, Co-pilot and any other AI. Get one to pose a question, the other answer it, feed the answer into the other and so on until well who knows? Would like to see that happen, also the famous 'Well What Do You Think?'... Or am I just being Evil !
