Anyone who knows me knows that I am, well, pretty much of a knucklehead.  And this little story just proves it once again.

So I drink a lot of ice tea.  And absurd amount, really.  Lots and lots of it.  A gallon a day kind of a lot.  And  naturally I have one of those simple, cheap, yet hopelessly useful ice tea makers.  I then buy boxes of Luzianne Tea in the “Ice Tea Bag” size.  Each of these boxes has 24 bags in it – says so right on the box --  and I use three of these bags every time I brew up a batch of that  magic elixir.  So that is eight batches per box, with no teabags left over, right?

But no, it’s not that simple.  I always end up with *one bag left over* when I get to the last batch.  Every time!  Huh?  I stand there and ponder it -- “Is this like a ‘Baker’s Dozen’ thing going on here with my tea bags?”

And then I take this mysterious “extra” bag, grab two out of the new box, and make the next batch.  And in a week, I’m wondering again.

See, I told you I’m a knucklehead.
