Ah, thanks for clarifying. Reminds me of that joke where a mathematician watches 2 people entering a house and then 3 people leaving it, concluding that there's now -1 people in the house.

I love jokes like that. There's the one where a statistician goes hunting with a friend, and the friend shoots to the left of a target, then to the right, and the statistician excitedly cries, "Got 'em!"

I've heard it as "If someone goes in, then it'll be empty!"
