    My math teacher: “You can’t walk around with a calculator in your pocket!”

      I have a calculator in my pocket that I can talk to and it’ll talk back. “Hey Bixby, what’s half of five and three-eighths?”

      About 33% of the time the dumb bitch comes back with “Okay, here’s what I found on the internet.”

            Arithmetic was easy for me. It made sense. What didnt make sense was finance and accounting. That shit exists just to muddy waters and hurt people. 5
