The end of a conversation I had today at the Social Security office, where I went to get the Ladybug a social security number.
Clerk: And I just need you to sign and date… here.
Me: Um, what’s today’s date?
Clerk: March 5th, 2007.
Me: (scribbling down the date) Three… Five… Seven…
[ Pause ]
Me: Hey! Did you know that today is the last time in the next one hundred years that the date will consist of three consecutive odd prime numbers?

Clerk: Next!
