This guy was serious

"You guys charge by the word, right?"

"Yes sir."

"Okay, the ad reads: 1998 Framistan 300, 2001 Geezberg 197, 1972 Hoopyloc 180, and 1986 Felgercarb 200. $1000 for all. 540-555-1234."

"Okay, sir, that's 17 words."

"No, it's only seven words. The rest are numbers, so I get them for free."

"... what?"
