Math Fail

Tuesday, February 21, 2012 - 11:38 AM


Thank you to everyone who took the time out to give me a little math tutoring this morning!

What's really funny is that this was a real-life situation in which I tried to help my third-grader, and pointed him in the wrong direction. I hadn't actually pulled the 13th-floor thing, but I did assume that the ground floor was "Lobby" and the next floor up was the First Floor. Which was wrong. My son spent the rest of the day glowering at me for making him get his math homework wrong. Which was nothing compared to the shellacking I took in my Inbox this morning!

Actually, you guys were -- as usual -- incredibly polite, as you proceeded to try to coach me through third-grade math. Now... anyone wanna help me with my taxes?

Okay, here's help for your taxes.

Got any money left? Give it to the IRS.

There, all done.

BTW, the bit with the lobby and the next floor being the first floor is how Europeans count floors.

@vbalbert
Well, not always. Sometimes you still owe the IRS more than you have spare.
They aren't known as Infernals for naught, after all!

(I kid, I kid. I still sacrifice a pizza to the auditor every year around here when he visits.)

Hell, let's face it, we're not responsible for anything; including the things we say, do, or think. And if you sue us because you think we are? Well, we're not responsible for that either.
