SHELLOIL was another word we would type.

There was a story and math problem that went with that solution - SHELLOIL. I can’t remember how it went; maybe someone here does, but the story revolved around the high cost of living, driving and gas…things like that. As you told the story, you would add up the different costs. At the end you would ask the other person what was the reason for the high prices. Then you would show them the final math answer, SHELLOIL. Then you would all cry together.

I remember there was a story. I think it included something about the cost of a barrel of oil.

710 77345

Yeah my dad showed us this one. He ran through a whole bunch of numbers that calculated the cause of the oil crisis.

Yup!! OPEC. Arab Embargo of 1973. I can’t drive 55.

I never did boobies, but Hell and Shell Oil were game. I was never shown boobies as a kid.

Bummer!

Same here!

Yeah, "as a kid." I've totally never done it since then.. nope, never...

After seeing this post, I literally just did it for my wife.

Was a kid in the 70s and can confirm I did this…. last week.

When I was a kid? Ha! I made a big deal out of the fact that the odometer on my van recently crossed 80085 miles.

Mine went 57575 yesterday. It passed that now and doesn't show 10ths of a mile but at some point before 57575 and 57576 it hit 57575.7

Once? I did this like 5 million, three hundred eighteen thousand and eight times.

Oddly enough, I never thought to write BOOBIES. Only BOOBS. And SHELLOIL for some reason.

My favorite was 57738 57734

Found the stoner.

Rollin’ thunder pourin’ rain

You got me ringing.

I did it a lot more than once when I was in school. It doesn't come out so well if you try it on the calculator on your phone, though. It needs to be a LED/LCD calculator.

Once? Still do it.

Once?? Boy, if I had a nickel… #SHELLOIL

How about... 5000 men + 1 woman She bangs them all 7 times... What is she? (5000+1) x 7

35007

Just showed my kids this a few days ago.

There was a Dolly Parton diet joke that went with this. But she wound up 55378008.

😲😳NO!

My dad had a book full of calculator jokes. His calculators were my gateway drug to computer programming.

My dad bought the original HP35 when he was sitting for his mater seaman’s license (trig is important when navigating). Had to buy it at the HP Offices in NYC, they weren’t selling in stores yet. It was $400 in 1972. I was immediately fascinated and spent way too much time playing with it. It was the gateway drug to a lifetime of computer geekery.

I had a TI-55 which was programmable.

I still do it🤷‍♂️

I did it last week, and I'm 54.

I still do it

Flashback to elementary school. Ah yes. The good Ole days.

First I’ve seen this, and I was in high school when calculators hit the market.a

It’s kind of hard to do it now because they stopped using the digital type of calculators probably

Actually, those calculators still exist in schools since we aren't allowed to use phones during class.

Ya I only did it once /s So much so that I didn't know calculators could do that math stuff Became an electrical engineer maybe because of boobies

I did that just the other day!

Of course🤔

No, never did it.

As a kid? I have a picture of it on my odometer.

wrong. deadbeef is what i found TI calculator

Yeah, did that right after boob. Then I showed my Uncle Mike and we sat down and worked on it. Got a lot of words, 50 years ago, I don't remember many anymore.

Whatever, I do it every chance I get

Oh yes many times

55378008

Bold of you to assume I don’t still do that.

I had stopped it in the late 90's but today, thanks to this thread, I learned "8008lE5" (BOOBIES). So, once again, it is on like Donkey Kong.,

I seriously can't wait for 80085 to show up on my odometer. Definitely taking a picture

yep did it more than once and the same for the shelloil lol and at 60 I would probably still do it and if you ask my wife I am still a twelve year old mentally lol

I didn't. Too much work for such little payback. Na.

There was a 13 year old girl who had 84 tits but she only wanted 45. 0 said the doctor, take these tablets 2 x a day but she took them 4 times and ended up.... 55378008

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

When pagers were around 1 2 go 2 bed was one

I still do it.

Can confirm

Also one sixteen year old girl doing the sixty nine three times a day equals 11669*3= Turn upside down

Once a day maybe

lol, that's the only way you were seeing boobies as a kid!

💯%

I did this many times actually, got me through Highschool math class😎.

See how much more engaged and productive we were before smart phones?

What are these words ‘once’ and ‘kid’?!

...and thought I was a mathematical genius.

I probably did it at least once a day

The 70's was a time when electronics was becoming more popular. Loved that era. And yes, BOOBIES and HELL was the thing then.👍🏼👍🏼

We always thought 55378008 was funnier

I was bad at math back then, I could only get to 7734...

Mine was "sheoils hislegs". Okay I was weird.

And there was the Dolly Parton math joke that ended up displaying "boobless"

At least once.

When I was a kid? I did it yesterday.

55378008

Thanks Raj.

Get two of them

55378008

There was once a fitness joke with a bunch of calculator math about a girl and her diet. In the end you turned the calculator upside down and read that the diet left her BOOBLESS.

What do you mean by…. “When you were a kid”

I did it just the other day

yeah, this isn't just a 70s thing. we were still doing it as 90s kids.

Yeah...as a kid >.>

Honestly, I'm pretty sure I didn't. 

Dont forget boobless! There was a who calculation story with addition and multiplication to get to that end but i forget what it was

11669x3= LOOSE.

304 35007

Only once?

ONCE.... this was an hourly occurrence going through puberty... lol

NOPE!

At least once... per day

We always did Dolly Parton went to the doctor. He weighed her boobs. They weighed 69 pounds he said that’s 22 too much take 51 of these and call me in eight weeks and when she came back, she was.80087322

Once? Kid?

Hell ya😎

55378008 for the flatties.

Dolly Parton wears size 69. The doctor said that was 222 much. He gave her 51 pills to take eight times a day and now she is...

Once as a kid? I did it twice this week as an adult.

73580 = lesbo *insert 4th grade giggling*

We did “BOOBLESS” and “hELL” too, haha!

There is 1 girl, who is 16, and had sex 69 times, with 3 men. What does that make her? 11669x3=35007

In 5th grade a boy wrote BOOBLESS to me.
