Background: Girlfriend's sister burned a hole in the deck of the house they've been renting. It's been 9 months or so since this happened, so I've been elected to repair it. Not a problem. I need to replace 2 2x4s, but I didn't have a chance to measure them the last time I was there... so I asked the g/f to do it.
Her: It's 15 feet.
Me: Exactly?
Her: Well, it was around 182 inches.
Me: What was the exact measurement?
Her: It was on the 1 in 182.
Me: So it's less than 182?
Her: No.
Me: So it's exactly 182?
Her: Not really.
Me: Well, what is it then?
Her: It said 182.
Me: Okay - is it more than 182, less than 182 or exactly 182?
Her: No.
Me: Wait a minute, you only have three choices here, and none of them were "no".
Her: It's 182.
Me: Exactly?
Her: No.
Me: Then is it less or more?
Her: Well, not really.
