"My name is King."

"How do you spell that?"

My favorite Duh episode occured several years ago. I went to a store that had a sign which said "10% off on all magazines." When going through the checkout, my $4.00 magazine was scanned at $3.90, when it should have been $3.60.

I complained to the checkout clerk, and she sent me to the store office. I had my receipt and proceeded to explain the error. The manager looked at me and said "I don't understand the problem. We took 10 cents off."

I said, "The sign said 10%."

The manager said to me, "Ten percent IS ten cents."

We went back and forth for several minutes, until I was reduced to teaching per cents to this woman at a grocery office window.

I think she finally gave me the price adjustment to get rid of me. I believe she thought I was making it up. LOL!

I run into the same problem with my common-noun four-letter surname.

We took our vacuum once because it wouldn't pick up lint from the carpet. The "technician" asked how to spell "lint".
