A Roman walks into a bar

[BigonaBianchi]

...holds up two fingers and says I'll have five pints please.

 

[winjim]

...and orders a Martinus

"Don't you mean a Martini?" says the bartender.

"If I wanted a double I'd have asked for it!"

...holds up two fingers and says I'll have five pints please.

OK, in what circumstances would holding up 2 fingers be a sign he wanted 3 pints?

Binary land?

 

[Pale Rider]

Binary land?

Think Churchill - V for victory, or v for five in Roman numerals.

Edit: Don't think I've quite followed this, have I?
Never mind.

When he's already got one?

 

[Spinney]

I think Fnaar's already got it...

(after all, there's only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and ....)

 

[mr messy]

When he's already got one?

Or is that zero? Are we still in binary?

How much does a Grecian urn?






Only a Roman nose

How about the guy who walks into the bar and holds up two finger. The barman says
"Two pints?"
No" said the lad, "Five. I work in a sawmill."

And does anyone know (without googling) what S.P.Q.R. stands for?

That's the one.

By the way, what connects Fnaar to one of Morocco's imperial cities?

 

[mr messy]

That not the senate that caesar chose to re-numerate regularly? Some Latin name
