Because when you ordered a dozen donuts, they always threw in an extra one for eating on the way back home.

11 would be more like a butcher's dozen(ie thumb on the scale). Happy T-day smileys with beer

when I order sliced ham at the deli the girl usually give me one slice to eat while I wait. So my deli's one pound is actually 1 pound + weight of 1 slice of ham.

Funny.....Bankers get it, and don't give it. They can lend 5x's their assets, with the backing of the Federal Reserve. Must be nice!
