“Well, that’s most of them.”
“How is that most of them? There are still a bunch of boxes on the truck.”
“Yeah, but this is more than half of them.”
“Most isn’t just more than half.”
“Yes it is. What do you think it is?”
“It’s… I don’t know… Most. Like, nearly all? Certainly more than just more than half.”
“So is 60 percent most?”
“No.”
“70 percent?”
“Look, I don’t know. 75 percent maybe? Or 90 percent? It’s not a hard and fast number. I just know that it’s more than 51 percent.”
“You’re crazy.”
“No I’m not. Ask anybody. They’ll tell you that most is more than just 51 percent.”
“Talked to everyone, have you?”
“Of course not; it’s just common knowledge.”
“How is it common knowledge if I don’t know it?”
“Well, maybe you just missed that day in school.”
“I repeat, you’re crazy.”
“Well, then, if most of the boxes have already been moved, you shouldn’t mind getting the rest yourself.”
“Ha, ha. Nice try. Let’s get back to it.”
“That’s what I thought.”
