She said, "I need a loaf of bread and if they have eggs, get a dozen." He came home with 12 loaves of bread.

Alex "There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge." -- Isaac Asimov
