Illogical math, an example

So, we're moving forward with our lesson, right...and being the Semitic Jew I'm not but would love to be were I born into the right ethnic family (instead I'm an athiest). Parentheses may not apply tomorrow, or even later today, don't discriminate.

We're talking pounds here, and billionaires, and the British who've lost 155 billion of them in the past year. This is completely against anything they'd teach you in public school, they even shy away from examples, so don't try this at home.

There are 16 ounces of marijuana in a pound. Or, for straight-laced homeschool teachers like me, 16 ounces of great Italian pasta in a pound. 12 ounces is less than a pound, and I always notice that at grocery stores, like Jerry Seinfeld would if he wasn't so busy being married to a great cook.

Does this mean the super-rich British have been ravaged to the amount of 25 trillion seven hundred thirty billion ounces of sardines? Um no.
