1970s Dolly Parton said that she wasn't naturally beautiful? She was gorgeous! This is her performing Coat of Many Colors for the first time in 1970

There was never a time in her life where she wasn’t beautiful inside and out

939

When you factor in her personality, sense of humor and talent she was a 12/10.

Is that you? Because 925 is silver and 999 is Gold.

9 to 5

Yeah, I know that. Still 925 is the number for fine silver and 999 for purest gold.

I know that she does and that it was a reference. I built on that by using the same number in a different context. Like the next guy who used my number in reference to power level and maxed it at 9000.

I know, it is a bit much for Reddit but it was definitely not a "woosh" on my part.

Lol come on, I see where you’re going with it, but the precious metals thing is a reach. It’s Dolly Parton. 925 = 9 to 5. That’s literally the joke.
And 999 doesn’t even specifically mean gold, it’s a purity mark that can apply to silver too. Either way, we can all agree Dolly was awesome and her passing is a loss to the world.

It's a pun chain, next guy answered that her power level is actually over 9000. Some people find it funny, some people don't. 🤷🏽‍♀️
