We were taught to use distinctly different pronunciations for the
numerals 5 and 9 because of their similar sound in radio
transmissions. Let's give the poor guy the benefit of the doubt on the
thickness. Maybe somebody told him and he heard wrong.

Now the $1 figure is a little harder to understand unless all he needs
is a few square inches.

Extreme patience. Get the guy a 5/4 tall oak tree, and he can wait until
it is large enough to finish at 2" thick.

BTW, that's in the 518 area code if anyone has some of this magic
stuff... John


Shoot, if somebody has got that kind of stuff, I'll pay for shipping from
wherever they are.
