Erf...our planet or what is in the garden.

Now erf is a mathematical function denoting errors, especially in statistics. Seems to me that a few folks down in Washington have been erfing around for far too long and the national debt is zooming into outer space on one of Elon Musk’s spaceships. Some of them, even those in the highest office, think it’s a joke to be scoffed at and laughed at. We need a few cases of fatal hilarity down there, doncha think?

I don't speak math. Just ask Himself. Dying from laughing. I could think of worst ways to go.
