 OFF BY ONE
============

 In a recent contest in The Washington Post,
 readers were asked to take an expression using
 a number, add or subtract one, and create a new
 definition:

 The Year 2001 Problem:  How to find jobs for all those
 programmers hired to solve the Year 2000 problem.

 Motel 5:  If you're not there by midnight, they turn off the light.

 Dressed to the Eights:  Impeccably attired with white socks.

 Five Eyes:  Other kids can be so cruel when you are Siamese twins,
 and one of you is wearing a monocle.

 Fortune 501:  Levi Strauss makes the list, but just by the seat of its
pants.
