two weeks minus ten days.

Over dinner yesterday. My friend whines:

"Someone hit my car!"

I gave her the most piteous look. Obviously because I am currently the reigning queen of having car/bikes/whatnot hit the rear end of my car.

She then exclaims " I've sent it to be fixed. I am claiming the guy's insurance."

I then said "Oh, I couldn't wait for the shop to process the insurance and get everything done. Much too long. I was told it would take TEN DAYS!"(written in bold for dramatic effect)

"WHAT?! TEN DAYS? So long? The man told me it would be done before Christmas! He said only two weeks!"

"Ten days is roughly 4 days less than two weeks."

"Oh."
