Covid-👻

When Halloween in many parts of the world could turn out to be the scariest or deadliest festival of the year, as authorities deploy more personnel to ensure that people attending Halloween parties adhere to social distancing guidelines.

In Seoul, it’s not uncommon due to Covid-👻 to spot posters with the caption “Don’t end up a real ghost!” outside nightclubs.

Trump 2Ø2Ø

When President Donald J. Trump fails to secure a second term in the 2020 presidential election, as voters reject him for his bigotry, dishonesty, racism, supremacism, and his mishandling of the coronavirus pandemic.

At Trump 2Ø2Ø rallies, out of desperation, Donald Trump is concocting all kinds of eleventh-hour conspiracies and falsehoods about Covid-19 to exonerate himself from the abnormally high infection and death rates in the US.

Trump Answer

When someone avoids answering a question with a simple yes or no, but instead replies that they don’t know or can’t even remember—a high probability they they are lying.

When pressed by the interviewer if he tested negative on the day of the first presidential debate, Donald gave a trump answer.

QAlculus

Short for “QAnon Calculus.” When white supremacists or racists claim that God set the white race apart from other races, by empowering them with the tools of calculus, so that any inventions they come up with would prove to others, who idolize gods and goddesses, that they are a privileged or selected lot.

Citing Newton and Leibniz as QAlculus ambassadors, alt-right Trumpists and QAnonists told their brethren that both British and German mathematics would witness a second mathematical revolution in the next decade or so.

Covid-👻

When diehard party-goers who superstitiously believe that the coronavirus is scared of ghosts are required by the authorities to wear a “frightening” mask to remind onlookers that the virus won’t take a break just because it is Halloween.

Unlike Muslim-majority countries that ban Halloween because it is against Islamic teachings, a number of Western nations are allowing the “infidel“ festival to proceed provided the organizers strictly enforce Covid-👻 rules.

Do a Math Trump

When you irresponsibly or prematurely walk away from a math test or exam, instead of waiting until the end of the paper, when everyone is allowed to leave the room, because you can’t handle the difficult or brain-unfriendly questions, especially after boasting to the whole world that you have a “genius IQ.“

During the 60-minute math test the other day, everybody was surprised to see Don do a math trump, who consoled himself that he could always pay a Shapiro to sit for his SAT if he failed again.

Covid-🦃

When desperately needed foreign workers trained to slaughter and process turkeys reared for Christmas are not allowed in the country unless they serve their 14-day quarantine on arrival, whose absence would affect producers with low supply and consumers with high price.

Thanks to Covid-🦃, a lucky percentage of the nine million turkeys in the UK would have their lives spared during this 2020 Christmas period.
