Alright, listen up, y’all. We gonna talk about these numbers, 87 and 68. Don’t rightly know why, but folks keep jabberin’ about ’em. Sounds like a bunch of hooey to me, but let’s see if we can make some sense of it.
Now, I heard tell some numbers got somethin’ to do with callin’ folks far away. Like, if you wanna ring up someone in them fancy foreign countries, you gotta punch in a bunch of numbers first. They call it a “country code” or somethin’. Heard 87 might be one of them codes. But don’t go quotin’ me on that, I ain’t no telephone operator.
Then there’s this talk about serial numbers. Apparently, them fancy gadgets folks use, like them music players and such, got numbers on ’em. Says them numbers can tell you when it was made and maybe even where. Sounds like a load of hogwash to me, but what do I know? Maybe 87 and 68 got somethin’ to do with that too. Like, maybe your radio was the 87th one made that year or somethin’. Who knows?
- Maybe 87 is a code for a country.
- Maybe 68 tells you when somethin’ was made.
- Maybe it’s all just a bunch of malarkey.
Folks also get all riled up about them numbers on the internet. You know, that thingamajig where they share pictures and videos? Yeah, that one. They say some numbers get real popular and everyone starts sharin’ ‘em. They call it “viral” or somethin’. Maybe 87 and 68 are part of some viral thing. Maybe it’s a funny video or a silly joke. Lord knows folks these days get amused by the strangest things.
I even heard tell of folks usin’ numbers to block their calls. Said they punch in 87 or somethin’ and the person they callin’ can’t see their number. Sneaky, ain’t it? But I reckon it’s useful if you don’t want folks knowin’ it’s you callin’. Maybe that’s what all the fuss is about. Maybe folks are just tryin’ to figure out how to keep their number a secret.
Then there’s them riddles and puzzles. Folks love to make up them brain teasers with numbers. Maybe 87 and 68 are part of some riddle. Like, “If you add 87 and 68, what do you get?” See? Simple as pie. But some folks like to make it complicated, addin’ and subtractin’ and whatnot. Confusin’, if you ask me.
Anyways, all this talk about 87 and 68 got my head spinnin’. I reckon it could mean a whole lotta things, or maybe it don’t mean nothin’ at all. Maybe it’s just a couple of numbers folks like to throw around. But if you ask me, it ain’t worth losin’ sleep over. There’s more important things in life than worryin’ about numbers. Like makin’ sure the chickens are fed and the garden is watered. That’s what I say.
But hey, if you wanna figure it out, go right ahead. Just don’t come cryin’ to me when you get a headache from all that thinkin’. I’ll be out on the porch, sippin’ my sweet tea and watchin’ the birds. That’s more my speed.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go check on them biscuits in the oven. Wouldn’t want ‘em to burn. And you know what? I bet I could make 87 biscuits if I really put my mind to it. Or maybe 68. See? Numbers ain’t so bad after all.
