It's disturbing how many Burgerlanders don't really comprehend the difference between a million and a billion, either.
The statement "the difference between a million dollars and a billion dollars is a billion dollars" is 99.9% accurate.
Maybe if we put it in terms of football fields or empire state buildings or number of burgers...
"The difference between the length of a football and a football field" gets us in the ballpark, but it understates it by about a factor of 3; a football is ~1 foot, and a football field is 300 feet (360 with the endzones).
Or 9/11s
