Fuzzy Math of the Week
A guy comes into the store with a small batch of VHS tapes to sell. I tell him I can give him $1 each for a few of them and can't use the rest of them. He tries to bargain with me and I tell him we buy 'em cheap to sell 'em cheap.
"So, if you're gonna buy 'em from me for a $1 a piece and sell 'em for twice as much, don't you think you can offer me $3 each?"
He comes back a while later...
"I got Assassins and I got this piece of crap."
"I'll give you $1 for Assassins, can't use the other one."
"Why not, whats wrong with it?"
Still later...
He slaps Fast & the Furious down on the counter. I dig out a buck.
"Do you smoke?"
I shake my head no.
"Good for you man."
I hand him his $1.
"Aw man, you're killing me!"
I shrug.
"God bless you!"
