I don't think the word is allowed, that dumb twat jumped in with BOTH feet. :laugh:

If she jumped in, wouldn't that mean she allowed it. I get what you mean.

It was more likely that because she is so stupid she didn't realize what was happening to her. That's how brainwashing works. Someone controls you but lets you think you're the one that made the decision.

There must be some good places left in Cali? What's the beach property like on the Salton Sea?

Just needs a little fixing up, that's all...

No, they need more math. I got the bill for a dinner from a cute waitress at a local drive-in that hires local HS and college waitresses. The bill was $25 and some change. I handed the young lady 2 $20 bills, said give me back a $10 and keep the rest. She looked very confused, not realizing she was getting nearly a $5 tip for simply taking an order and bringing it back out to my car! Jesus had nothing to do with it.
That's only one example. I managed a machine shop before I retired. One of the college grad CNC machinists that worked there before I became manager couldn't figure the angle to set the compound rest to turn a simple 1/4 inch taper over 4 inches on a manual lathe. He said tapers are figured in the programs for the CNC, he didn't need to know how to do it. So yeah, they need taught more math (and they can use calculators to do it now, we couldn't use calculators when I was in math class).

yeah that proved all liberals are stupid. Is that what you think it did?

If you read the post you replied to, you'd see I made NO mention of political leaning.
My mention was that they need to teach more math in schools.
How you got "all liberals are stupid" out of that, who knows!
What it proves is, you ain't too bright, for one.

I was in a convenient store recently buying a PowerAde and paying for gas. I like to keep the amounts at whole numbers. The drink was $2.39 and I wanted to make it an even $50. I told the cashier, that looked to be early 20s that I also wanted $47.61 in gas. She asked why such an odd amount. When I told her to ring it up and she'd see, when it came to $50, she asked me how I was able to do the math in my head so quickly. When I was in school, we didn't use calculators for simple calculations like that.

Exactly... I'll always remember buying the required college books in the school's bookstore and the cashier persistently telling me that I was short $X, even though I wasn't. I kept saying "no, it's the right amount" and the cashier kept refusing to acknowledge that it was. I then finally took the money and counted it out in front of the cashier and it came out to be correct. The cashier was then a bit pissy at me for doing that, but c'mon, learn how to fucking count...

The issue was that I had a $50 bill mixed into my $20s, so if one didn't separate out the 50 from the 20s, one had to switch from counting 20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 120... to counting 120, 170, 190, 210, 230, 250, etc... Still very basic mathematics if you ask me, and I say that you shouldn't be a cashier if you can't handle doing that...

I gave a younger cashier a $2 bill and he refused to accept claiming it was a fake. It took a vendor in the store to tell him that it was real. Even then he was reluctant to accept it.
