I thought a Scaramucci was 10 or 11 days, depending on whether you use the metric or imperial Scaramucci.
The Scaramucci is a complex number, because while he might have worked 11 days, he got fired before his contract started, so his total days of employment is weirdly negative.
Also he missed the birth of one of his children and got served divorce papers in those same days.
I think we can all learn something important from the amazing fuck up that Scaramucci achieved in such short time: Don't do coke.
At least he isn't Steve Bannon, he isn't trying to suck his own cock
Tony really had one hell of a fuckin week huh!?
I'd watch that movie.
It's called: The Hangover 5
Depends. Was it a leap year? Also, did it span a daylight savings time change?
Yes, 11 days. But she was Press Secretary for 9 days, from the 9th to the 16th. 9/11 = .81
Edit: 9th to 16th is 7 days, not 9. So I guess my prediction of .6 scaramuchis was correct
Wait, they're the 9/11 unit? yikes
No, 7-11
Bananamooch for scale
