Boar Tits
"Useless as tits on a boar hog" was always a popular saying in my youth.
Today, we, the American public observe something that beats that by a mile for utter, complete uselessness, probably several times daily. ".9" Yes, point 9.
A week or so ago, a new gas station was being built near my abode. The price sign arrived and was installed with the advertised price of 00.9 - they already KNEW that that ridiculous .9 was going to follow whatever else they could gouge you for. I did think the 00.9 price was a bargain so I stopped in several times but couldn't get the pumps to work.
Are we the only idiot country in the world or is gas XXX.9 Kopeks in Russia or XXX.9 euros throughout Europe?
Let us all volunteer to pay that extra mill per gallon (adding 2 cents to a 20 gallon fill-up) and get rid of those pointless point 9 signs.
Pray for sanity,
RevS
