We must live parallel lives! I stopped at an Arbys for lunch a while back in a college town. The register was out. My total was $5.15. I gave the "kid" a $10 and a quarter. He handed me 4 ones and a dime. I asked him to rethink the change. He scratched his head and finally the manager came over and corrected the situation. I asked the "kid" if he was going to college there. He said yes. I asked what his major was and he replied "I'm a math major". -RickG
