I still got a land line on a phone book in my kitchen.Yes, the list has a bunch of good questions, but here is one more.
Most of the world still reads the '#' character as 'pound'.
So why do they call it, '#metoo'?
Haha. Most of the world really doesn't denote the # as pound anymore, BTW. Hash has become way more identifiable these days. Hash has been used in various programming languages and has more recently made itself mainstream as a part of Twatter-verse
Only old fucks, like myself and... you, apparently, still recognize # as pound (at times), and thus, the punchline makes sense. However, since landlines phones are pretty much dead these days bud, I fear your joke came off as 'hashmetoo' to some..
