A lady of 60 named Gertie
Had a boyfriend of 40 named Bertie
	She told him emphatically
	"When looked at mathematically
In Modulo 20, I'm 30."

My goodness, a clean limerick!  Even funny!  But I am having 
problems with the arithmetic ... several problems, in fact.

Uh-uh, 60 mod 20 = 3, not 30!  Cradle robbing????

Sorry, wrong again... 60 mod 20 = 0 !  mod is the remainder left over
after division, not the quotient.
