        Sorry Dave! Everyone wants to post their famous "one-liner". All of this is making me feel more like I do right now than I did awhile ago.

            Speaking of a mouse, do you know that from just one Sequoia could be build a whore-house with thirty rooms?

                      According to my father, that is incorrect.

                          Searched for the question and this is the answer apparently - "A bean, a bean, a half, a bean, a bean and a half and a bean" Reason for answer - British term - A shibboleth designed to establish whether a person had learned nonsense rhyme "one bean, two bean, a bean and a half and half a bean" from his Nanny and thereby establish upper or upper middle class origins. Usage - "That fellow isn't our sort at all, he doesn't even know how many beans make 5". As the British put it - "corny". :doh:

                            That's correct. When I was younger, much, much younger, and had done something that I was obviously proud of my father would often say "Well done, son. I suppose that after that you know how many beans make 5?" I never understood at the time and whenever he gave the answer, he said it so quickly that it took many years before I could get it off pat. Long after he died it finally sank in that he was really saying not to be so big-headed, which I was, back then. I'm not big-headed now, of course, now I'm perfect. :laugh:
