[AT]was Transmission oil, now systems

[charlie hill]

I have a friend who is a very smart man, owns his own business and does well 
but he's not very educated.  He just couldn't grasp the idea of tenths, 
hundredths and thousands.   I finally got it across to him by using money. 
He understood when I told him that it took 1000 pennies to equal a 10 dollar 
bill so one penny is 1/1000 of ten dollars, one dime was 1/100 of ten 
dollars and 1 dollar was 1/10th of ten dollars.  Then I was able to explain 
to him about moving the decimal point.  It all finally clicked ..........  I 
think.

Easy one Larry.  "Dollars" and "cents".
Oh!  You weren't referring to that type of measurement?

At the moment,
