The owner of a golf course in Queensland misplaced his
calculator and was confused about the correct amount to pay
on an invoice, so he decided to ask his secretary for some
mathematical help.
He said, "You graduated from the University of Queensland and
I need some help. If I were togive you $20,000 minus 14 %
how much would you take off ?"
The secretary thought for a moment, then replied, "Everything
but my earrings !!"
