Now you’ve done it! All this talk about hundredths place and thousandths place. Don’t confuse the math phobic folks any more!
If you want to have some fun sometime, ask some kid in the meat department for eight-tenths of a pound of hamburg. He won’t have a clue.
Which reminds me. Once I took a 16” x 25” air filter for my heating system into a store to get some new ones. I asked the young man where his air filters were located and he replied: “OMG, what kind of car do you drive?”
Merry Christmas!
I hope you didn't tell the clerk the air filter was for your heating system, but instead told him a yarn that he'd be telling his friends for weeks.
For example, say: "Car? This air filter isn't for my car. I am a steamboat captain and this is for my steamboat."
Merry Christmas!
