The Grandpa Loop

Tonight, on our way to dinner, some friends and I bumped into an older guy I know. He told us about the library where he works, only soon things went awry.

'Did I ever tell you about this thing one time?'
'No, let's hear it.'
(he tells the story, then a minute later)
'Did I ever tell you about this thing one time?'

Uh oh. We've fallen into a Grandpa Loop.

This man's memory has been kicked in the face by his arch nemeses: Old Age and Living Through the 70s. If he'll repeat this information once, there's a chance he could repeat it forever.

You ever program your graphing calculator to repeat 'balls' or 'farts' by making it loop back to the same thing over and over again and it won't stop until you turn it off? That's kind of like what God did to this old man's brain.

And that's why you should never talk to old people.

(Bed.)

Here, try it with your own graphing calculators:
Lbl 2
Disp "farts"
Goto 2

Now go outside.
