Scientists recently did a study on the effects the right side and left side of a brain had on counting. They first took out the left half of a man's brain and asked him to count to 10.
He says, "2, 4, 6, 8, 10".
They put the left half back in and removed the right half, asking him to count to 10 again.
He says "1, 3, 5, 7, 9".
Finally they decided to just go for it and removed the whole brain. They again asked him to count to 10 one more time.
He says, "Look. I'm great at counting to 10, ok? I love numbers and I have the best numbers. No one has better numbers than I do. My 4th grade math teacher - and let me tell you, she was the best and smartest math teacher in the country at the time - my 4th grade math teacher said to me that I am the best counter she's ever seen. The best. So if you want me to count to 10, let me tell you I can count to 10 alright. That's no problem. I will do it. I will. And I will do it better than any has ever done it before, ok?"

They're calling me up, and they're saying "Thank you." We've got a problem here, and there's a tremendous problem, and we need to figure out what's going on. And these comedians are thanking me because I'm, look...
I'm the best target of jokes, okay? There's never been anyone as good at being the target of jokes as me. And when you look around at what's happening. You know, you look at the Onion and Borowitz, and they're making jokes. And they're making them at me. I'm just so good, and they're thanking me. And we're going to make those jokes great. They're going to be huge, okay?

Dad, this is really funny and started reading this thread.
He had it printed out and was laughing and I said,
"I don't get it."
He said, Dad --- It's Donald Trump!
Duh, now I get it! I just refuse to listen to
Donald Trump ... that's all. Give me a break.
