I have been astounded lately by the stuff I hear while I'm quietly going about my business. The other night, I heard an Allstate commercial that was talking about the need for retirement planning and how they can help. The tag line was, "We can help with the third half of your life."
Huh?
By definition, there is no such thing as a third half. There can really only be two. At least, that's what the nuns told me at St. Alphonsus, and I have no reason to doubt their veracity at this juncture.
It's the same thing as people who proudly claim, "I give 110% in everything I do!" Good for you, pal. Maybe you could give 120% to learning math. You cannot give more than 100%. It's just impossible. 100% is the most that there is. What's so hard to grasp here?
I know that I'm being a nitpicking dork, and I am certainly no math booster (If you can't be a mathlete, you can still be a mathematics supporter.) but come on, people! Get a little specific with your figures, huh?
