The owner of a golf course was confused about
paying an invoice, so he decided to ask his
secretary for some mathematical help.
He called her into his office and said,
"You graduated from the University of Georgia
and I need some help.
If I were to give you $20,000, minus 14%,
how much would you take off?"

The secretary thought a moment, and then replied,
"Everything but my earrings."
