I am glad, I am not the only linguistic nerd here.
Looking up one of the jokes posted in response led me to this forum:

I suspects other resident nerds might enjoy some of those jokes as well.

It has been discussed many times in many venues that the correct usage is
"10 items or FEWER" vs "10 items or less" (and apparently there is no complete consensus,
even though I am on the "fewer" side in this case).
But in this case, the situation is worse:
"UP TO .. or LESS"...
