Ha! Well fast is'n it, right isn't either. Checking the work fixes this one. Ah, but formulating the needed calculation is the key. Then failing to do the needed calculation because you did know it was needed is a real blunder.

Two old me are talking. "My memory used to be not so good but I've been taking pills and now it is back like it was when I was young." "Oh really, what's it called?" "The medicine?"

I walk to work and a couple of years ago, I was coming back to work after being out a couple of days with a serious flue. I still felt terrible, but I tried to come back. On my way walking to work, that terrible feeling started. I couldn't hold it in and totally shit my pants. At that point, I called my boss and told him what happened. Let this be a reminder. If you are still having flue symptoms, don't try to power through and go to work. You will shit yourself in public.
