Yet another adventure at "The Dollar Store"

Earlier this year I swore off dollar stores forever.

Forever is actually about three months.

So anyhow, the other day I needed something and the dollar store had them. A different dollar store I might add then the one I swore off forever.

On their sign outside and on their windows and all throughout the store it proclaimed "EVERYTHING IS A DOLLAR!"

So I brought up six items to the register and held up one of them and asked:

ME: "How much is this?"

MONKEY: "Everything is a dollar."

ME: "Even these?"

MONKEY: "Yup."

ME: ::holding up another item:: "How much is this?"

MONKEY: "That's a dollar also...EVERYTHING is a dollar."

ME: "I notice on the candy bars it says TWO FOR A DOLLAR....How much for just one?"

MONKEY: "Fifty cents for one, two for a dollar."

ME: "So EVERYTHING isn't really a dollar, now is it?"

MONKEY: "It's two for a dollar."

ME: "Can I buy your cash register for a dollar?"

MONKEY: ::Puzzled look:: "The cash register isn't for sale."

ME: "So EVERYTHING isn't really a dollar, now is it?"

MONKEY: "It's not for sale."

ME: "What if I gave you fifty thousand dollars for the cash register...would you sell it?"

MONKEY: "Ummmm....I guess so. I'd have to clear it with the manager first."

ME: "So EVERYTHING isn't really a dollar, now is it?

MONKEY: "You're just teasing me, aren't you?"

ME: "Give me a dollar and I'll tell you."
