Restaurant bill is an important part of starship propulsion drives that run on bistromathics.

Slartibartfast explains that "On a waiter's bill pad, numbers dance. Reality and unreality collide on such a fundamental level that each becomes the other and anything is possible."

Love that PKD thing, by the way.
Both his words and manner of speech seemed at first totally unfamiliar to me, and yet somehow they stirred memories - as an actor might be stirred by the forgotten lines of some role he had played far away and long ago.

tip = 18% , 1+8 = 9

7+5+5+8+9+2 = 36, 3+6 = 9

755892 / 9 = 83988 / 9 = 9332

Nope. I don't know what math you are doing there chump but let's just round down to a $75 tab. 20% gratuity would be about $15. Your original number was $1050.56. Obviously none of this matters. But that would equal $1,500 tip at 20%. What is that math anyway?

That's why I said "cheap ass motherfucker". A party like that you always add to the "insta grat". I was just wondering where you got the 18% from. Again, this matters not AT ALL!!! LOL. Sorry, too many years in the service industry. Most people tip on the tax too. Not fair I know.
