I need to figure out how many sisters Sally has.
Given information:
Now, each brother has 2 sisters.
If each of Sally's brothers has 2 sisters, and Sally is one of those sisters, then there must be one more sister besides Sally.
Let me verify:
Therefore, Sally has 1 sister.
Answer: Sally has \boxed{1} sister.

[Walking on stage]
So I turned 35 last month, and I've realized something important: adulting is a scam. It's a pyramid scheme, and our parents are the ones who recruited us.
You know what nobody tells you about being an adult? How much TIME you spend just... waiting for repair people. I've spent more hours of my life waiting for the cable guy than I spent getting my college degree. And it's always a "window" – they'll be there between 8 AM and 4 PM. Oh great, thanks! I'll just put my entire life on hold. That's only eight hours. That's just a full work day of staring out my window like a dog whose owner left for groceries.
[pause]
And they NEVER come at the beginning of the window. Never. You KNOW they're coming at 3:58 PM. But can you leave? No! Because the ONE time you go to the bathroom, that's when they'll knock, wait 0.3 seconds, slap a "Sorry we missed you" sticker on your door, and vanish like a ninja.
[gesturing]
Speaking of things nobody prepared us for – does anyone else feel personally attacked by how often you have to buy toilet paper? I swear I just bought toilet paper. Where does it GO? I live alone! I'm not eating it! But every week I'm at Costco, loading up another 48-roll pack like I'm prepping for the apocalypse. And you can't just buy a LITTLE toilet paper. That's not an option society gives you. It's either 48 rolls or one sad single roll at a gas station that costs $7 and feels like sandpaper.
[shaking head]
But here's what really gets me about being an adult: insurance. Home insurance, car insurance, health insurance, life insurance, phone insurance, TRAVEL insurance. At what point did we all just accept that we're living in a protection racket?
I got a letter from my health insurance last week – you know those ones that say "This is not a bill"? Yeah, those. Why do they send those?! It's just a letter to give me a heart attack, which I then can't afford to treat because of my deductible. It says, "We paid $340 for your recent doctor's visit." My doctor's visit was 11 minutes long. I've had meaningful relationships that lasted shorter than that, but at least they didn't cost $340.
[mimicking reading]
And it's always in that confusing insurance language: "Amount charged: $1,200. Negotiated rate: $340. You owe: $150. Amount we paid: $190. Good luck understanding any of this: priceless."
[shifting topics]
You know what else is a scam? Recipes online. You can't just GET a recipe anymore. Oh no. You have to scroll through someone's entire life story first.
[mimicking typing and scrolling]
"How to Make Toast. Well, let me tell you about the first time I had toast. It was a crisp autumn morning in Tuscany, 1987. My grandmother, who was one-quarter Italian and three-quarters passive-aggressive, used to say..."
JUST TELL ME HOW LONG TO PUT THE BREAD IN THE TOASTER, JENNIFER.
[building up]
There's 47 photos of the same piece of toast from different angles. Toast at sunrise. Toast with a rustic napkin. Toast held by someone's hand with perfect nails. It's TOAST! You put bread in a toaster! This doesn't require a documentary!
[calming down]
But the real sign I've become an adult? I get excited about kitchen appliances now. I bought a new sponge last week, and I was GENUINELY thrilled about it. I called my friend. "Dude, this sponge has a scrubby side AND a soft side!"
Twenty years ago I was sneaking into clubs with a fake ID. Now I'm bragging about sponge technology.
[reflective]
My parents always said, "Just wait until you're an adult, you can do whatever you want!" You know what I do with my freedom? I eat cereal for dinner and feel guilty about it. That's my rebellion now. Sometimes I have ice cream before the cereal, and I feel like I'm getting away with murder.
[final thought]
But I guess that's being an adult. It's just being tired all the time, waiting for repair people, buying toilet paper in bulk, and getting excited about organizational containers from Target.
The dream is dead, folks. But hey – at least we can have ice cream for dinner.
[wave and exit]
Thank you, you've been a wonderful audience! Good night!
3-Minute Stand-Up Comedy Routine (No Puns!)
Eric's Stage Entrance:
(Wearing a jersey-sweatshirt combo while clutching a cup of instant coffee)
Opening:
Alright, admit it—ever tried talking to tech support in Hindi? I did, once. The woman on the line asked, "What's the issue, sir?" I said, "The line is delayed, like a stalker of my call waiting." She said, "Mr. Burrows, hold while I transfer you…" and then conjugated every form of the verb "wait" in Hindi. I was still waiting when I sold my router on eBay.
Dating Apps:
Speaking of waiting, dates now start on apps where, "We found you!" like we're shoppers at a lost dog shelter. And honestly, relax. No entitlement to happiness through an algorithm. But then DMs hit… "Greetings, my name is Ronaldo. Passport, job, Tinder premium." Not even a "Hi, how're you?"—starts with his résumé. Talk about overqualified.
Parenting Moment:
Kids are philosophers now. My niece asked me once, "Why do grown-ups say 'Put that down,' but then say 'Look at this magazine?'" And I was like, "Ah, adult hypocrisy is complicated." She responded, "Oh, so it's okay if I copy Dad's TikTok swiping?" Uh-oh, frickin' Nietzsche in a dinosaur onesie.
Post-Workout Hustle:
Ever seen the new "plank squad" at your gym? These are people who do planks so hard they forget to lift their faces… and accidentally their dry-erase boards read, "Meet the Joneses—Zoom backdrop only." Meanwhile, some plank in sweatsuits go drive-thru, order coffee, and bark, "I'll take a 32 oz Almighty Latte… and a quarter of a kale salad as a 'therapeutic exchange,' thanks!"
Grocery Horror:
Self-checkouts are the new therapists. You do this inventory: "Was this taxed? Does the receipt deserve a trophy? Do I feel accomplished?" And then some Karen's like, "Oh no, it won't scan! Maybe… pray to the iPhone gods?" Suddenly, you're narrating the bagging process like a 90s MTV vlogger: "Okay, let's nestle the constrictions—uh, cucumbers—gently in the basket. Let me just add drama to my leftovers."
Dining Delight:
Restaurants now train waiters to yell, "Who's with this lookin'-like-a-corpse patient?! Suppaaa, losers! Time to share tables!" So you're sipping your $12 kale smoothie next to someone whose meatloaf got a restraining order. I bet 90% of conversations start, "Welp, our life choices led us here." Dinner now feels like a support group for people who hate napkins.
Closing with a Callback:
And the kicker? Just came back from my parent's Thanksgiving—Mom's like, "Why're you here, Eric? The mailman had issues with my candles." Dad? Mute in a headset, screaming at a chat monitor screen. I popped in, said, "Relax, you've survived Christmas on diet meds before." Dad: "Wait, we did the drugs?" Mom: "You're grounded, Eric." (Pause) Okay, thanks, everybody. If you liked it… keep it open. If not… plank it.
(Emergency water chug and exit while holding a crumpled receipt like a trophy.)
This routine cycles through relatable scenarios, uses character-driven humor, and leans on absurd situations to land laughs withoutwordplay. Timing and facial expressions during the parentheticals would add extra punch!
