>>>I think practically every high school newspaper around has used it at some time, too. The kids' school, though, one year had the slogan "As timely as the school's clocks." This is was hilarious because not only was the paper published in frequently, but you could walk into three different classrooms in the school and find three different times on the wall clocks. For some reason, they couldn't get them in synch.

Yesterday, in a coffee shop, my order totalled $4.35. I handed the cashier a $20.00 bill. They entered the amount tendered incorrectly, and the cash register showed I should get .65. The cashier recognized that that was not correct, but they didn't have a clue how to count change manually. After walking her through the process, she retorted, "I'm a science major, NOT a math major!". She did not say what science, but I hope it is not pre-med!
