Ellen, havn't you kids gotten around to percentages in 6th grade yet?

You don't multiply a percentage times a duration to get a new(higher) percentage.

Or, as my wife just pointed out to me, when you go to a 50% off sale at a store, with a 50% off coupon you don't get stuff for free.

So are you high, stupid, or a liar?
(Anybody care to guess?)

Oh, by the way guys, don't forget to deduct your union dues from your income tax.
