Ordering stuff off of the internets can be confusing: http://theoatmeal.com/comics/shopping_cart. It reminds me of when a cousin of mine was catching a pitching phenom named Curly Ray Jones. Jones had two pitches: a fastball and a curve. My cousin dutifully reviewed the signals with Curly Ray, indicating that one finger would be for a fastball and two fingers would be for a curve. After signalling "one" for a fastball and being de-nutted with a sinking curve and then signalling "two" for a curve and having his windpipe dislodged by a rising fastball, Cousin Charles trotted/stumbled to the mound. Indicating a desire to go over the complex signals again, Curly Ray quickly cut him off, indicating, "All these numbas is confusing--I'll pitch it and you catch it."
I hate math, too, so I've always sort of related to Curly Ray. There endeth the lesson.
