Wow, y'all, I just gave more to disaster relief than Exxon!
Check my math, please.

Exxon = $5 million out of $11.7 billion last quarter profits = .04% (.0004) (Took me while to figure that out, as it was so minuscule that it sent my computer's calculator into e-notation.)

Me = $50, which if that was only .04% of my quarterly income would mean I took home $125,000 for the quarter. I assure you I didn't, but I wish I did!

News story with numbers right here. Let me know, please, if I messed up my math.
