$74 / $100,000,000 = WTF!!!!!
This one had me laughing in my office. We now have a new definition of WTF.

Just for the record, WTF = .00000074

We may not know the meaning of life but we have successfully quantified WTF. This will go into the annals of s2ki.com history with Scot and Jonboy listed as co-discoverers of the mathematical definition of WTF.

Since the meaning of life was quantified, many people have long searched for the meaning of WTF. In one fell swoop, thanks to a bunch of anal people, a moment of frustration turned into a victory only surpassed by those of Pasteur, Banting, and Edison.

Bad news, I don't think I can fit 8 characters on my license plate. Hope the meaning isn't lost when WTF rounds downward.


This is going to be quite the inside joke. ".00000074, mate?"

So then.... the assistant credit manager asked me if I knew anything about it.... "how do we want to charge the maintenance department?". YOU DON'T... WHO ****ING CARES.. IT IS $30.00...

How can people who are ~55, ~65 and ~45 years old collectively not figure this out?

I am rounded thousands baby.... if i am within $1k i call it a day...
lol thats nothing...

i used to work at a bank where you would have to input your cost center into the photocopy machine before use!!!

Sounds like the Assistant Credit Manager is doing his job. It's setting the "Presedence".

Anal = Freud
