More Or Less

I can remember laughing at a skit on SC-TV years ago.

The skit was about a USSR game show...the game show was called "Propaganda".

The game show host asks the first contestant his question.

"Last week you received a half pound of wheat for food rations...this week you received a quarter pound...did you receive "more...or...less?"

The contestant thinks about it and yells out..."less".


The sound of a loud buzzer blars off stage.

"Sorry thats wrong", declares the host.

Then the host calls in the secret police who quickly drag off the contestant.

The next contestant is then asked the same question...and of course he answers by saying..."more?".

"You are correct comrade!"

This is an example of how some people mistake less for more.

Tomorrow we will learn how people mistake more for less.
