Humor to Share

While some things in life are free, others can cost one cent. The explanation for this real deal is probably computer related. The item, a small package of eye-hooks, most likely would have had a retail price of around one dollar. When the cashier scanned the item and it displayed one cent, she asked her supervisor for advice and was told that if the scan said it was one cent then one cent it was. Now, I wonder if they would have been as accommodating for a higher valued item? Notwithstanding the insignificance of the purchase, it did provide a moment of humour for ... Read Full Story
