Keeping the peace as best we can."
Dear Dr. Fortran,
If a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, how much is the bush worth? Also, is it true that a penny saved is a penny earned?
Cliff Hanger
Good question. I asked an eminent mathematician, Howzit Cohen, to provide the numerical theory for this ancient postulate.
let b = bird
h = hand
x = bush solve for x
then
bh = 2bx
h = 2x
.5h = x
Thus we see substantiated proof that a bush is equal to one-half of a hands.
As to your second question, I think the S&L that offered those interest rates went out of business some time ago. At rates presently available, a penny saved isn't worth a stray neutrino.
Part 1 was based on an idea from Dr. Science.
