After an hour no has come why the President used 20 pens to sign the HCR Bill into law?

[Perky]

Barack Hussein Obama is only 18 characters.

Ten points for the person who figures out why.
cbayer got one of them..... He dotted the "i"

Took me a good ten minutes to figure out the 20th

[Brother Buzz]

1. 21 gun salute for the republican funeral?

:shrug:

[denimgirly]

2. I GOT IT!! Cuz i was 21 when i lost my Virginity!!

:spank:

[Bicoastal]

3. Er...blackjack?

:dunce:

[denimgirly]

4. DAMN..That was what i was going to say

:rofl:

[PBS Poll-435]

5. 1 for each of the hillbilly states that is threatening or already has filed suit against the bill?

I have lost track.

[Perky]

[Cha]

[krispos42]

10. Barack Hussein Obama is, um, 6+7+6 =19 letters

Damn, I thought I had something there.

[Perky]

12. You are right I did not count correctly

so what was the 20th pen for?

[Hutzpa]

17. Obama is 5 letters

no..:shrug: so 6+7+5=18 yes? no?

[PBS Poll-435]

19. It is March, we are merely days from St. Patrick's Day. So the implied apostrophe counts as 1.

Ask Drunken Irishman if you have any further questions.

:shrug:

[Hutzpa]

28. lol

:P

[Perky]

24. yes and so why the additional two

[Hutzpa]

29. 1 for dotting the i and 1 for period (full stop)

yes!

[Perky]

33. the "I" is correct the Full Stop is wrong

[PBS Poll-435]

38. And 1 for

"Lolz Palin!"



:shrug:






Or the date?

[krispos42]

48. Fuck.

:dunce:


I'll be in the corner, safely distant from any math...

[Perky]

11. Oh Cmon folks. Anyone who is a serious West Wing Fan should know this.

[cbayer]

13. One to dot the i in Hussein?

:hi:

[Perky]

14. Yeppers that is one one of them

Was is the West Wing reference that gave it yo you.

[cbayer]

20. Nope. Never saw an episode of West Wing that addressed this.

[Hutzpa]

26. and one for period (full stop)

what did I win? :shrug:

[Perky]

30. 10 points but then you lost five for your wrong answer on the 20th.

[Hutzpa]

[PBS Poll-435]

[Perky]

[OswegoAtheist]

15. Buncha Math Wizards in here....

Oswego "The other two pens were for the smiley face" Atheist

[Perky]

21. LOL

One was for the the "I" in Hussein but what was the other for?

[MidwestTransplant]

16. Because Anti Christs from Kena who are Communist, Socialist. Maoist, Facists always use 21 pens

Everybody knows that.

[harun]

27. Yep, secrets out now.

[BlooInBloo]

18. I hear Chairman Mao also signed things with many pens.

[Hutzpa]

34. Hey bloo

where on earth has thou been?

Good to see you again. :thumbsup:

[Swede]

25. It's muslin socialism.

Of course.

[dancingme]

35. To give one to each of the people who were gathered

around him watching the signing.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

36. Plus a couple to sell on E-Bay

Have to reduce those Bush Deficits somehow, you know!

[namahage]

37. Barack Hussein Obama II ? n/t

[Perky]

40. Very Good but wrong.

[Hutzpa]

39. Every body stand back

I got this....

[onenote]

41. he sometimes signs his name with a line through the O. Is that it?

[Hutzpa]

42. one for the letter b

he signs the letter B with two pens.

Now where is my mojo?

[Perky]

43. Close Enough,

Mostly because I have to get back to work. It was the "H"

[Hutzpa]

46. thought it was the b

ah well... Good brain tease.

[activa8tr]

44. Do they spend time planning out something like that? I guess they

would have to. How many people, how many pens, what each pen will do.

[onenote]

45. In the past, however, he hasn't always spelled out Hussein when signing bills

Do we know that he did so today? If not, then his signature only had 12 characters -- Barack (6)+H (1) +Obama (5)
