It means that this Grandfather (as an old man) is losing his memory, especially for multiplication tables, from higher (and thus more difficult) products down towards lower ones. Dancelover Good morning, can you please explain to me the meaning of this strip? |

can you please explain to me the meaning of this strip? Sorry, either "low numbers" or "living in the low numbers" is some slang expression (or a reference to one) I can't find. The Who (a band) used to be called the High Numbers, but I can't find a reference to what that means either. My guess would be "living in the low numbers" could mean living without a lot of money, i.e. just getting by, but that's just a guess. |

Hello dancelover and Dil Bert,
how are you?
This expression is really strange. Could effectively mean that grandpa is losing his memory, and just remembers the little numbers.
I didn't know The Who were called High Numbers, it's interesting. I used to listen a lot to their music, especially after having seen "Tommy" in the late 70's.
