Of course you're right, George. But I didn't want to use a number as
long as your arm to the elbow, so I humbly suggest my new numbering
method for Arny's lies.

(200) elided
5 -- fifth year of the century
12 -- twelfth month i.e. December
xx -- the number of Arny's particular lie in that month of that year

This numbering scheme will of course restrict us to counting only
Arny's important lies because, clearly, he tells more than a hundred
lies every month. However, we should take the phase of the moon into
account, so that Arny's insanity can be included the reckoning. In
months when there are two full moons the third indicator will be

xxx -- the number of Arny's particular lie in that month of the year,
which can then be seen at a glance to have two full moons in it.

This scheme avoids huge running total numbers, confusing alphanumerical
schemes, and permit addition of Arny's total lies in a year by just a
simple addition of lies in any twelvemonth, or for all the years
elapsed in a century by an equally simple addition.

Also, it has the advantage of instant statistical utility (we don't
need to dissect huge totals into equal periods) for those who are
studying Krueger's mendacity to discover if there is a longterm cycle.

I trust my modest scheme will find acceptance with senior students of
RAO chief liar.

Your humble servant,

Andre Jute

Take that number, square it, multiply by 3 and you will have the number of
times Robert has shown himself to be technically incompetent.

Corrected spelling for the nitpickers.
