Reminds me of the Dilbert comic where he buys somethng at the local market, and the price was some odd number, and Dilbert hands her too much money, but the math worked out that he got rid of a bunch of small coins, and got back, say a 5 dollar bill and a quarter... The cashier said something to the effect of "oh, you're an engineer"...

Wish I'd saved it...
