disgruntled math genius: "so you realize that one dollar does not equal one cent"
sweet frumpy floor manager: "yes"
*no comment*
DMG: "and that a half dollar does not equal a half-a-cent"
SFFM: "yes"
*so far so good*
DMG: "and therefore .002 dollars does not equal .002 cents"
moronic troglodyte in disguise as human being: "no"
*epic bitch slap!*

Listening to that phone conversation made lose the last dwindling hopes I had for the human race. I only wonder why the disgruntled math genius didn't press it further, as the concept is pretty easy. A does not equal B, forget about the numbers. Oh well. I hope he only had to pay 71 cents in the end. ]]>Feb 18th 2009 11:25PM
