Interesting Ad for Firewood

[boatboy63]

We have had a cold snap the past couple of days so the ads on my facebook local yardsale sites for firewood have picked up. Here is 1 I just saw:

FIREWOOD FOR SALE.....$60 dollars a load ..can be delievered call (xxx) xxx-xxxx (actual phone number instead of x's).

This all sounds fine until he had his first reply. Basically, the guy asked if a load is closer to a rick or a cord. He replied back and said $60 for a rick and $250 for a cord. I couldn't help but to chuckle. I looked at the guy's profile and he appears to be a high school student with a pickup. All I can figure is that it must be the new math they are teaching now.

Just order 3 ricks!

My thoughts exactly. And the seller can't argue with it either as he's advertising it for $60/rick. I'd probably even order 4 ricks and come out ahead of his one cord for $250.
