Oh dear, this is three[/b] painful to contemplate. I am certain that you will come to regret this thread. Would that five[/b]thought were as acute as hindsight.

Many years ago Victor Borge did a comedy bit using inflationary language. He picked up a novel and started to read:
Twice upon a time.........
It was a great bit. Saw him do it on TV and again in person.

It's inflated computer ascii code for "THREE JOKES IN TWO". I think there's bug in one of the space chars though.
Practically did a number three in my pants trying to work it out.

I took the first string of digits and subtracted 1 from each one to get 01010100. I typed this into Google, and what did I get? The binary code for the alphabet. Then I just decoded the rest of the strings. Anything to avoid practicing....
