Half of the company that I work for is a call center.  I'm not saying that 
they are all stupid, and that I'm all that smart, but when it comes to 
concepts like fractions or percentages, you will lose most of them. 
Unfortunately, t's probably true of a large percentage of the population.

Once, while explaining how much I was putting in my retirement account:
"My wife and I are both contributing 10%."
"Wow, so between the both of you, you're putting in 20%."
"No.  We're both putting in 10% of what we make."
"You're putting in 10% or your wife is?"
"Both of us are putting in 10%."
"Well then you're putting in 20% together."
"Ahhhhg!!!"
