If Math Is the Key to the Universe, I’m Locked Out
Me: It looks like my back-of-the-envelope math was a little off; if you want to reject the form, I will redo. Thanks!
Accounting Guy: Try using the Front-of-the-envelope math…It works for me!
Me: Actually, I found a nifty little device that will do the math for me…perfect for people like me, who have liberal arts degrees. It’s called an “abacus”.
Accounting Guy: You’ll get your fingers pinched and stuck in those things…not to mention its hard to put in a purse! Those of us with accounting degrees use fingers and toes…
Me: I can’t even imagine trying to do math in base 20.
