One of the most accepted old English adages is that "a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush." Now, what I've always understood that to mean is that something you have is equal to two somethings you don't. Translated into mathematics, that means that any x amount of my money is equal to 2x of yours. So if your money is twice mine, that means I should only have to pay half the fine of my speeding ticket, as it will be worth twice as much when you get it. Also, as a result of applying this aphorism, despite my bank statement saying I only have $691.60 in my account, it actually means that I am worth twice of what I'm actually worth. I'm not sure what this all means, but I'm pretty sure it means that someone owes me a lot of money -- probably you. So the next time I see you, give me some money.
