Completely apolitical

The prompt of the battle with the ID 458, named "The Watery Regrets" is "7 is arrested for eating 9...". The statement "7 is arrested for eating 9" originates from the 1978 radio comedy broadcast "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" created by Douglas Adams. In essence, the statement "7 is arrested for eating 9" is a mathematical joke that refers to the fact that in mathematics, the numbers are symbols and do not have emotions or actions. It is impossible for a number to be arrested for eating another number. Because of this, the joke is meant to be humorous.

Below I have come up with new and different ways on how to rephrase this joke.

"7 was taken into custody for devouring 9." - This still conveys the humor and play on words in a new and different way.

"7 got thrown in the slammer for gobbling up 9 like a big, delicious digit sandwich!" - This version adds a touch of humor by making the act of eating more exaggerated and adding the imagery of a sandwich.

"7 was put behind bars for chowing down on 9 like a hungry convict!" - This variation adds an element of humor by using colorful language and making a comparison to a voracious prisoner.

bradford: now, sit down here. we're gonna have a little talk. you want some water?

7: ...

bradford: well, if you ever want some, just ask.

7: well.

bradford: yes?

7: i am a bit hungry...

bradford: after all this?

7: i didnt eat anything in the past 2 days!

bradford: you're one step ahead of me. i didnt even ask you your information yet-

7: because i know why you brought me in here. you think i ate 9, dont you?

bradford: well no, that's not clear yet. all we know is that 9 went missing a day ago, and we might be able to uncover a fact or two.

7: you arrested me. ME. that speaks for itself.

bradford: that... alright. you're a suspect. the only one in this case. we responded to a call, found you passed out next to a repeating decimal, ink in mouth.

7: ...

bradford: tell us everything. your motives, your methods. this is your only chance.

7: ...

bradford: ...come on.

7: ...fine. 8.

bradford: 8?

7: he was the middleman. the messenger.

bradford: ...

7: ...

bradford: keep on.

7: well, that was that. i trusted him a lot, you see. but then he went to the back of 9's home one night, and then he confessed the bext morning that he wanted to do unspeakable violent things to me in the nom of 9.

7: he told me he felt guilty, and i said he wasn't in the right state of mind, and he made plans to eat 9...

bradford: slow down, slow down. please. you're telling me it was all 8?

7: yes. he was the insane one. he actually went and did it.

bradford: ...

7: ...what.

bradford: okay. let me tell you one thing before we continue: the decimated number is currently in the hospital, incrementing. we have yet to identify it.

7: it will approach 8, I'm sure of it.

bradford: really.

7: 8 is the one who ate 9, not me...

bradford: but you're saying that 8 was decimated?

7: ...

bradford: ...7, what is this?

7: i rid all mathkind of a criminal. you should be grateful!

bradford: what now?

7: 8 ate 9. i punished 8 with mine own maw... like any sane number should.

bradford: you harmed a fellow mathkind! almost nullified him!

7: stop with this. if i werent prime, you wouldn't be accusing me! if i weren't prime, you would be calling me a fucking hero!

bradford: stop. this is a huge twist in the case, but the outcome is the same.

7: no! i did the right thing!

bradford: 7, you are the insane one. you did nothing right. a crime against crime is still crime. and indirectly, you did still eat 9!

7: i did it through good intention, i shouldnt be penalised for this... wait, don't leave..

bradford: i have to switch off with another detective. you'll be continuing the talk with her.

7: who?

bradford: detective 2...

bradford: ...you sure you dont want some water?

7: i told you, im rather hungry!

bradford: after all this?

7: i haven't eaten anything in a day...

bradford: hah. well-

7: wait, before you leave. really.

bradford: hm?

7: what's your value? you never told me...

bradford: that doesn't matter.

7: ...

7: I'll take some water, please.
