I’m old enough to Remember George KINGFISH Stevens the inventor of Amos N’ Andy-Bonix...
Just saying sometimes when a person thinks they’re correct, it helps to go through it step-by-step.
Usually, it helps.
I paid for a sandwich with a $10.00 bill and was given $14.00.

You and I can see that we’re in a functionally illiterate world. And it’s getting worse. PC is increasing and logic and common sense are diminishing.
When my wife and I transferred to NM, my wife had her Alaskan license and they used to have SSNs on them. If you refused to allow them to print your social, the license had 000-00-0000.
The girl at the counter asked how my wife ended up with that number for her SSN.
I would have responded: “By a strange coincidence, it’s quite similar to the one Barak Obalmya uses.”
Really? “there” stores?
yep they closed 5 stores in Washington this past year!
