How Many Ways?



We had a discussion at lunch regarding a local politician who voted contrary to everyone else on the board.  He disagreed with the outcome.  In fact, he reportedly said there were 13 ways to handle the problem and this outcome would be the 13th on his list.  One person remarked that 13 was a lot of ways to handle a single problem.  Then we remembered that we've heard about more.  We remembered the song, "50 Ways to Leave Your Lover."  We tried to remember some of the 50 ways.  There was get on the bus (Gus), make a new plan (Stan),  drop off the key (Lee), slip out the back (Jack), and no need to be coy (Roy).  That is it.  Only 5 ways to leave your lover.  The song title is false advertising.
