Let([

~numOne = Ceiling ( Random * 5 ) + 1;
~numTwo = Ceiling ( Random* 10 ) + 1;

~itemOneList = List ( "Hogs" ; "Chickens" ; "Ostriches" ; "Turtles" ; "Gators" ; "Dances with Mabel" ) ;
~itemTwoList = List ( "Hay" ; "Slop" ; "Manure" ; "Crabgrass" ; "Fairy Dust" ) ;
~Containers = List ( "Buckets" ; "Barrels" ; "Sacks" ; "Truckloads" ) ;

~itemOne = GetValue ( ~itemOneList ; Ceiling ( Random * ValueCount ( ~itemOneList ) ) ) ;
~itemTwo = GetValue ( ~itemTwoList ; Ceiling ( Random * ValueCount ( ~itemTwoList ) ) ) ;
~Container = GetValue ( ~Containers ; Ceiling ( Random * ValueCount ( ~Containers ) ) )

];

~numOne & " " & ~itemOne & " or " & ~numTwo & " " & ~Container & " of " &~itemTwo & "?"

)

Just a little fun for April Fool's Day (but the function really works).

I use this as the title for custom dialogs when the pay type (cash, check, credit card) is missing.

Generates random, "folksy" questions like "4 Chickens or 8 Sacks of Manure?"..."3 Dances with Mabel or 7 Truckloads of Slop?"
