Old Man Statement, Day 102, 22 January 2026
Mr. Burk is so old...he remembers when multiplication tables were called "Times tables."
Doesn't really go well with the theme of my age jokes but I thought it was funny enough to post and even more so, surprised a student knew we called them the times tables back when I was in elementary school.

Yea, this student didn't get the "OLD" idea, but he did have a valid thought between the "Multiplication Tables" and "Times Tables"... I'd give him a passing grade on knowing that, Vic...

UH, I've Always Heard Them Referred to By All 3 Names.
"Times Tables" -- "Multiplication Tables" -- And "That "#%$^&" I Just Can't Get".
