    Billie had better get a move on, three other people need to wake up with her butt in their face today.

        Waking up at the crack of dawn is for amateurs.

        Dawn’s butt isn’t nearly as nice as Billie’s.

          But Billie’s not an amateur. No sirree-Bob.

          Tomorrow morning, she’s gonna be waking up at the crack of Dawn. (yeah yeah it’s a crummy buttcrack-related joke…what, you expected more from me? :P)

      There are three types of people in the world, those who can count and those who don’t.

        And those who construct “kinds” jokes with broken parallelism. The first kind you mention possesses the ability to count while the second kind doesn’t perform the action to count. Those two kinds are not exclusive which is usually a crucial element to that type of joke. In particular, a person may be able to count, thus being of the first kind, and choose not to count, thus being also of the second kind.
        Perhaps that is part of the joke as well, but a little clarification seemed to be needed or at least I felt compelled to add it. Indeed, perhaps you are driving at a different and perhaps subtler point: everyone can count, but not everyone chooses to exercise that ability.

            Richard made a joke on its own based on that previous joke should have said “there are three kinds of people in the world. Those who can count, and those that can’t.” not “don’t”. So it wasnt so much explaining the joke as deconstructing it

        There are 10 kinds of people in the world … those who understand binary and those who don’t.
        (speaking of binary, Willis … back in the late 1970s there used to be a bank in downtown Columbus near the Statehouse that had a binary clock on its outside wall. Is it – the clock – still there and working?

    Billie is awesome because in McAwesomes, you never have to pretend to be an actual person. I’m curious, has Billie looked into joining any sorority’s? Those are the places you go when you need the stability of high school cliques and the comfort of being surrounded by fellow rich people.
