The Big Eleven

“Here’s some things that drive me nuts.
In the www dot com things. It’s not a dot at all. It’s a period. That’s wrong.
The Big Ten – the athletic conference – the Big Ten, there are 11 teams in the Big Ten. That’s wrong. Why don’t they call it the Big Eleven? They don’t. It’s the Big Ten. Well explain the fact that you’ve got one left over at the awards banquet.”
