I ordered a quart of matzoh ball soup from the restaurant across the street. They usually put two matzoh balls per order, but I asked if I could have a third. The guy on the phone said he'd try to fit the extra one in.
When I went to pick up the soup, I asked the guy if he was able to get the third one in the container, and he said "Yup, the ball's in your quart now".
Context:
-
I currently live and study in the Philippines
-
One Philippine Peso (β±) is approximately 1/40 a dollar. Go check the conversion ratio if you doubt.
-
A single stick of this choco wafer stick right here (called Stick-O) usually costs at about β±1
-
I study in a college where student organizations are prevalent and their means of collecting funds is by Fund Raising Activity, i.e., selling consumables to students (usually food at exorbitant retail prices)
Every single time when I see an organization member doing his/her FRA selling Stick-O's, I ask...
Me: How much is that?
FRA: Three for five.
Me: β±3 for 5 pieces?
They chuckle in shame. They then correct me:
FRA: No, 3 pieces for β±5 pesos
I was doing some accounting homework when...
Me: What is the acid test ratio?
Dad: States what the acid test ratio is.
Me: Thanks, I should have known that.
Dad: it's okay it's not basic knowledge.
