Last week I bought a hamburger for $1.58. The counter girl took my $2
and I was digging for my change when I pulled 8 cents from my pocket and
gave it to her. She stood there, holding the nickel and 3 pennies, while
looking at the screen on her register. I sensed her discomfort and tried to
tell her to just give me 2 fucking quarters, but she got the manager for help. While he tried to explain the transaction to her, she stood there and drooled on herself.
Why the fuck am i telling you this?
Cuz I just read the "history of teaching math"
