“WE ARE THE NINE 11-DENIERS.”

Louis recounts listening to an NPR story at breakfast with his daughter. She hears '9/11 deniers' as nine people denying the number eleven. Louis invents a dedicated fringe group protesting the number and demanding the return of 'one-teen'. The group is imaginary and the joke turns on a numerical misunderstanding.
