I was at our local grocery store yesterday. Right near the front door was a shopping cart full of hardcover books. A sign on the cart read "All Books $1.00". I bought 3 and realized what the sign really meant, but couldn't help mentioning to the cashier that I thought $1.00 for a cart of books was a really good price. Neither she nor the bagger "got" my point.

I love your sense of humor! Do you watch the Headlines on Jay Leno? This sounds like one of the signs he would put on his show.

Duh for me, I had to read it twice to get it. To my defense, I have not finished my first cup of coffee yet. :)

Love your sense of humor!!
