American Mathematics

I was out & about during lunch the other day, so I just went to the drive through at a popular fast food place.
My total was $3.20, & I handed the (blond) girl at the window $3.00, then dug around for some change & handed her 20 cents.
At which point she seemed a little confused, & said, "So I owe you a dollar?"
....
"It was $3.20, right?"
"Yeah," she said.
"I gave you $3.00, then change... ."
"So, how much do I owe you?"
............
"You don't owe me anything," I tried to say without too much exasperation.
"Oh, thanks!"

And just think, she really could grow up to be a president of the same caliber as the one we have now.

Overheard

Overheard on the sidewalk as I left the coffee shop last night:

Geek A, "What would be really cool is if Jar Jar had to fight an Ewok!"

Geek B, "Yeah, preferably in a trash compacter with no convenient way out."

Okay, who thinks that these guys need to get a life?
