The Letter P Two Times In A Row

Thank you, Huffington Post. Every now and then, a gem.



Who knew this existed? Why didn't I? Why is Father Christmas in the chorus? Did this little boy pee pee his bed again tonight? So many questions.

Why There Is No 'Pal' in 'Principle'

Here is the story of how I went out during lunch the other day to get cat food and turned into Ralph Nader.

The story in visuals:

As you can see I bought four cans of noms, and because I like to collect points I charged the $2.36. Whatever, it's my right.

However, the lady rang up $2.39. Not a big deal, right? And yet, the principle!

I pointed out the difference and she kept trying to tell me it was the "tax," dismissively and rudely. I stood my ground. I called over a manager and explained my story, stressing it was not about the actual money involved.

She was very nice, and gave me three pennies. Win!

But then? I got back to work and noticed that three of the four cans were $0.65 and one was $0.59, and the cashier accidentally just charged me 4 x $0.59, plus of course the three cent typo.

In the end, a boring tale, except I won a battle against the man even though it was only for three cents and really I ended up ripping them off for $0.18 (originally only $0.15), and Zach got food. Win win!
