It's the Eb and Sultan Show, a thoroughly entertaining competition of .. Pedantry.
You both need to try the 3 word story.

And you reminding him that he's reminding me, which in turn results in me posting something in response. I think she's forgotten about it now anyway and we're back to the infighting of Eb and Sultan about the post disection.

I know, it wasn't supposed to be a rigorous mathematical concept or anything. Stop spoiling my fun

Something to do with the revised baggage allowances on international flights, I think...
