That way I owe you $5,000 and you owe me $5,000 and we'll just call it even!

This bit was already old when I first heard it, from Abbott & Costello. In black and white.

Who gets the money?
deadspacekillers@reddit
Yes.

Every dollar of it. And why not? The man earned it. (Pause.) Sometimes his wife comes down and picks it up. Whose wife ? Yes. (Oh, sorry, wrong Abbott and Costello act.)

Who’s* wife. There is no player on the team named Whose

"Let's say the guy up bunts the ball. I pick up the ball and throw it to who. Who throws it to what, what throws it to I don't know, I don't know throws it back to me. A triple play!" "That's the first thing you've said right!" "I don't even know what I'm talking about!"

"Another guy gets up and hits a long fly ball to Because. Why? I don’t know. And I don’t give a darn." "What was that?" "I said, I don’t give a darn." "Oh, that’s our shortstop!"

This reminds me of a trick where you take $20 from your own wallet and ask for to borrow a $20 from someone else, after which you put both bills into an envelope.
You then offer to sell the envelope containing $40 to the person for $30.
Would you take that deal?
Shulkify@reddit
If that is everything then yes, I get a plus of $10, and I am still owed $20 since that was only borrowed.

Not I, says me. Lol

InvitinglyImperfect@reddit
I’m not a math major, but this makes sense to me.
Fancy-Rock-Scripture@reddit
I like what you did there! (But technically you have to owe me 10k for me to owe you 5k☹️)
Arubiano420@reddit
I don't know why they are downvoting you. You are right.
DavyDavisJr@reddit
Head, I win; tails, you lose. Sounds OK at first but then ...
