Isn't it annoying when your boss is shorter than you???

How long has it been...

I know, I know.I died, vanished, became a ghost, whatever for quite some time.But don`t blame me: go ask any P6 if he/she is stressed out.Either it`s a yes, they`re gods or they need to go for brain surgery.
Duty driven E (names in initials, remember?) is still as busy as ever.I don`t even think she could even breathe without multitasking on something else that would take a massive amount of brain power.Sure, she has her smart points but seriously,if by some way you`re reading this:TAKE A LOOK IN THE MIRROR.You definitely need a break.Take a break, go to MacDonald`s or something.I know you`re smart but that head of yours would start smoking if you don`t hurry up and unwind.
Freaky fractions, part 2
"Sure you got that?" Fish fillet asked from a corner of the room.
"Sure,you`re holding a party and you want sausages, bread rolls and heck, god knows what."Luigi replied from the counter.
"but I thought you invited Nugget`s gang, Hades and Jackass along!" Mario said, wondering how much they would need to cook for these food barrels on the day of the New Year Party.(OJW: I did this draft on CNY`s 2nd day)Luigi took down notes and suddenly Fish-fillet said,"If Nugget`s gang doesn`t come, there would be 12 people since Jackass and Hades have agreed to come for the party.If they come, there would however be 106 people!Make sure the food divides equally between all of us!"
Luigi gasped and was about to take out a calculator when a Muppet secrctly emerged from the dustbin and gave him a sharp look.He then thought to himself, Lemme think......12 X 16 =192!But can I cook less than that......
"Hey! Fell in a coma or what, steak-brain!I wanna make sure you`re not gonna make a mess.Tell me how many sausages we need."The answer was short and sweet:48.(the smallest common multiple for 12 and 16 is 48)"It`d better be right, how about Corn on the cobs? By the way, Jackass is allergic to them unless he takes pills so the amount has to be shared between 11 (allergic and no Nugget), 12 (same but not allergic), 15 ( everyone but allergic) or 16 (all fine)."
"I never excelled in multiplying fractions, finding Lowest Common Denominators (LCD), Multiples and what not...." came the sad reply.Mario was good in Math though and he replied in a flash,"2640 corn on the cobs!"
Luigi nearly fainted as the gangsters in front of him nodded in agreement and paid the bill.As they left,Luigi asked," The`re crazy!I can`t make all those bread rolls,Sausages and Corn in a day!"
" Shaddup!Call the travel agency, we`re gonna go on a holiday in Hawaii."Luigi wanted to retort but Mario spoke in a sharp voice,"I know another LCD for 11,12,15 & 16.It`s 0!They can have 0 of whatever the heck they want!Come on, after you make the call, let`s pack and prepare!"
Luigi stared at him as Mario went up to his room, stomping a Chinese Lantern along the way.
P.S.: 2460 corn was needed since the LCD for 11 (11), 12(2), 15 (3) and 16 (2), when multiplied with the smallest numbers to gain the total (e.g. 2X2X3=12) add up, it`s 2X2X2X2X3X5X11=2060!
