(I've had the same discussion many times. You can multiply the fun by 16 or 32 if you're on a web press. Then you get to explain over and over why going down four pages will cost money, not save money.)
*headdesk*
Ah, good times, good times.
I'll go you one better: incompetent!boss makes up a report every month with a tally of our year-to-date cumulative page count. So (for instance), if the January issue was pages 1-200, just guess what he puts on his report?
....wait for it....
That's right, 199! No matter how many times we've told him that it is literally impossible to have an odd number of pages, he still calculates the total page count by subtracting the starting page number from the final page number.
There's a reason I've dubbed him "incompetent!boss."
Oooh, give him a one-page report! Pages 1-1...
That's right, 199!
Ask him how many days there are in the date range of July 1 to July 10. Then if he says 9, ask him how many days in the range from July 1 to July 2.
Oooh, give him a one-page report! Pages 1-1...
In the form of a Moebius strip.
Give him a slip of paper. On one side, write, "The statement on the other side of this paper is false." On the other side, write, "The statement on the other side of this paper is true."

Whoa. I just got a little bit infuriated from waaay over here. Never ever ever tell me how incredibly much more money than me this man makes, K?
Yeah, but he gets paid from the 1st of the month to the 31st, which is only 30 days....

But if he's salaried, that's actually MORE money per day...of course he probably couldn't figure that out...

That reminds me: Once while visiting my sister at college I got to slip backstage of a play she was rehearsing. Among the props I found a block of wood that had, "turn me over" written on it in black sharpie. I did as I was told and read, "put me down" on the other side.
Aw crap. Just looked at the time. Stoopid buggy software causing one of the engineer's docs to be a giant pain in MY ass.
But now, I'm done getting the blasted thing formatted, I shall finish up on the morrow.
And so adieu. Jitterbug, Irish, and Chapter 4 of my Textbook await. (So I'm not likely to see any of you again before tomorrow) Night All!
