By the way, how do you work that calculator thing? I typed everything in and it came up with -16carbs. Now I'm confused. And depressed!

The reason it's negative is because the manufacturer, not only subtracted the fiber, but they also subtracted calories equal to the amount fiber. It's none standard, as calories cannot be subtracted!
This is a case of hidden carbs and hidden calories 
At least we know, the 20 grams of carbs, is after subtracting fiber.
i.e., the 3 slices contain 59 grams of carbs, 39 of which is fiber. You can always assume that, when they list more fiber than carbs.
