Why is six afraid of seven?

Because seven eight nine.( hint: eight sounds almost like 'ate')

Re: Why is six afraid of seven?

Actually it was because 7 is a prime number, and they are spooky!

BEWARE THE PRIME NUMBER!

Re: Why is six afraid of seven?

Or maybe 6 was afraid of 7 simply because 7 is bigger then him.

Or perhaps 6 was afraid of 7 because the two of them together make 13, an unlucky number.

Re: Why is six afraid of seven?

Or maybe 7 threatened to differentiate 6, reducing him to zero! (runs screaming from the room)

Re: Why is six afraid of seven?

Or maybe 6 was afraid 7 would ask him the inevitable question: "why was 6 afraid of 7?" because he'd heard it 7 times. ;-)

I heard of that joke before.

mikau, it's just a joke. No need for so many posts in a row, in my opinion.

If you added a new joke with a new topic on the forum, that would be better, because I want to see more jokes.

Maybe 6 was in a bar and heard some really bad things about 7.

Re: Why is six afraid of seven?

6 saw the movie Se7en.  That would be enough for me.

Why is 6 scarred of 7? Because he was wounded in a fight with him.

Re: Why is six afraid of seven?

Why is 6 scared of 7?

Because 7 8 9.

What proof do you have that 7 8 9?

Well, my son who was learning to count said to me yesterday "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, once I caught a fish alive. 6, 7, 8, 10, then I let them go again."

Re: Why is six afraid of seven?

Why is 6 not scared of 7 anymore?

Because 6 8 8. Thus, 7 can't eat anything anymore.

I am much better looking.


In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.
