Knuckle Up Some Knowledge, Kid

Idiots log: 31JAN2013

Yesterday, someone asked me how many days are in January. I instinctively made a fist, raised it to eye level, and delivered a blow against ignorance. No, I didn't punchisize any faces, I merely cracked a well past-due egg of knowledge all over this person. "Thirty one", says I. "How do you know?", asks this man. "Count your knuckles, brah.", I respond. Then I proceed to show him to count knuckles, expressing your first knuckle as January, the hollow adjacent as February, and continue til the last knuckle, proceed again to the first and continue the count stopping when you reach your desired month. Knuckles are long months, hollows are shorts. Easy day. I learned that in first grade and still have to refer to it to this day. 'Membering things is hard, visual aids are da bess. Also, in first grade I read the Town Musicians of Bremen. I didn't know that was the title, but I googled rooster cat donkey thieves. It knew what I was talking about.
