1 more. I frequently hand over "too much" money when I pay. Example if the bill is $17, I may give the person $22 (a twenty and 2 ones) so I can get a five back. Some of them will actually give the two ones back and tell me I gave them too much money. I used to explain it, now I say, enter it in the computer and see what happens. Then I get an oh, you get a five back.

So... did any of them subscribe to the service?

When I worked for 7-11, they taught all clerks how to make change. I hope they still do, it's been a while since I shopped 7-11. It really irritates me when the clerk enters the amount I give them into the cash register, and then gives me back whatever amount the register shows them. I always stand there and count it (properly) to make sure it's correct.

It's not that difficult to make change. Really.

the City is constructing a "traffic circle" about a block from that bar now. If it would have been there back then, I would probably still be trying to get home.

We have one of those here...the only one for miles, so nobody is familiar with how to handle them. Shortly after it was put in, the first accident was one of the local cops who made it a "Drive thru".

I just know the city will eventually get sued when one of our oldsters (they abound here...retirement country) has a nasty.

A couple of short decades ago, when the first (commercial) word processors were starting to show up, a company I was associated with was submitting a proposal to do research for a nuclear facility. They used a word processor for the first time, figuring it out as they went. At the last minute, the manager figured out how to activate the "spell check" option, ran it, and then printed out the proposal, bound it, and delivered it with about two minutes to spare. Too bad. The word "nuclear" was not in the speller dictionary and every single occurrence was changed to "unclear". Arg!

Once when I went to the bank to pay my credit card. I made out a withdrawal slip from my deposit account for the amount owing, handed it to the teller with the credit card statement.

Then watched in amazement while the teller physically counted out the withdrawal from her cash drawer, and then immediately counted it back into the drawer.

Those remote unlockers really spoil you.

Once after a very long day I got out of my truck, closed the door, and hit the "lock" button. I then proceeded to walk up to the front door of my house with my keys still in hand, pointed the remote at the house door and hit "Unlock".

Felt pretty stupid.

[TaxRelief]

The spell check probably would have kept "nuculear" though. Isn't that what a lot of people say instead of nuclear? LOL

The opposite of "if" is also "since".

[Tunehead54]

Actually the opposite of "IF" I have been informed is "UNLESS".

I am still trying to imagine sample sentences that would prove this. Me, I'll stick with "WHEN" til proven (with two sentences that make sense) otherwise.

My sister (in her thirties then) argued with me once that if I hooked her VCR up to a black and white tv, it would only record broadcast tv programs in black and white.(um, the tv acts as a monitor as the vcr has it's own tuner and the antenna singal goes into the vcr first, then to the tv). She never did believe me.. Yes, she is blonde....

Good one - how about:

I will be happy if the Giants win.

I will be happy unless the Giants win.

LOL! Very funny AND very sad!

"I don't have any real currency on me, will you accept fiat money?"

[Blood of Tyrants]

I also find it ironic that Andrew Jackson fought the founding of the Federal Reserve tooth and nail yet they put his picture on the $20. Rather than an honor, I believe he would find it an insult.

[Blood of Tyrants]

P.S. I would use the term "fiat money" but few people know the meaning.

Thanks Stone! Paging supercat ... your order of crow is ready!

I'm going to hate myself as soon as I click "post" but if we don't understand the meaning of "IF" then how can we understand what "IS" means?
