Should Be Easy As Pi, But It Isn’t

It is a few days before March fourteenth.

Boss: “I need you to pull down all the ads we have for the pie-day promotion. This came from corporate.”

Me: “We’re not doing pie-day anymore?”

Boss: “No, customers didn’t understand what the π symbol meant in the π-day posters.”

Me: “I guess that’s not surprising.”

Boss: “It isn’t? Why not?”

Me: “Because this is the country where the third-pounder failed because the general population thought it was smaller than the quarter-pounder.”

My boss sadly conceded that I had a point.
