In "The world's funniest joke?", Asa told of inmates who had reduced their jokes to numbers. I replied "forty-six". A few people wanted to know the significance of "forty-six". There is none, that I know of, but I decided to search the web. I got 81,700 hits, including one for "Little Women - CHAPTER FORTY-SIX". That chapter begins "While Laurie and Amy were taking conjugal strolls over velvet carpets, as they set their house in order, and planned a blissful future, Mr. Bhaer and Jo were enjoying promenades of a different sort, along muddy roads and sodden fields". What does "conjugal" mean in this context? Maybe if I'd read the book ...
