"A local employment service had to drop a question from their screening test because too many applicants were missing the question: "20 is what percent of 100?""

You have that right. Each year, on the first day of class, I ask my college freshmen in my financial accounting class to calculate 32% of 100. Less than half of them can answer the question correctly.

Ya'll Yankees done convinced me. I reckon the South
ain't as good as the north. I reckon when I retire
I'll move up there. Anyone got a house to sell in
downtown Cleveland, or Detroit?
