This joke is that the quoter is one of the people who can't count |
34 |
(because 'he' says there are three kinds of people, but names only two); |
35 |
|
36 |
The other joke is similar, but goes like this |
37 |
|
38 |
There are 10 kinds of people in the world |
39 |
Those who understand binary, and those who don't |
40 |
|
41 |
("1" is "yes" in binary language, which only consists of the "letters" 1 |
42 |
and 0, and is the basis of all computer languages, and "0" means "no"). |
43 |
|
44 |
They're both pretty humourous, acutally. |
