Engineers don't deal with imaginary stuff and we all use scientific notations :p

Electrical engineers do :p

If he was an EE he would have used j instead of i.

Gist: Guy gets quote on long distance rate from Verizon at 0.02 cents per minute. He had it clarified and confirmed. Or so he thought. So he goes out of town, uses long distance like crazy, and then gets a bill for 100x more than he figured. They really meant 0.02 dollars, or 2 cents per minute. So there's this big dispute etc, and he sends them a check for 0.02 cents or something like that.

Ahh, I remember a (goku?) thread something like, "You go to Wal-Mart with $100 and find potatoes priced at 0.02c per pound. How many do you buy?"

That was a PAB thread.
