another intuitive genius........like me..........

I went to the corner store. While there, I picked up two ears of corn. Came time to check out. The young person on the other side of the counter looked perplexed. She then asked if I'd like three ears, instead of two. Now it was my turn to look perplexed. "No" I said. "Two are all I want". She then announced that they were six for $2.00. As I pondered as quickly as I could, the light popped on! Intuitive geniuses are NOT good at math! I did, however, reach the logical conclusion! (don't ask me how). The actual cost, is three for $1.00. I could do this! Rounding up, as stores do, making each ear, 34 cents! Oh the pride I felt....I also passed latin in high school over 50 years ago. Not by a lot though. Thank heavens for vocabulary tests, those were a life saver!.......marge
