Christ  how many times on a single occasion is one supposed to be honest  really

she handed him nine dollars the difference of three dollarsthe difference between $21.99 and $18.99 times three holdingreading his store receipt she somefuckinghow concluded he bought three bags of catfud three times three equals nine or three plus three plus three equals ninehe didnt know how she did her math  the total purchase on his receipt was $30.87  three times the erred $22 is $66 less three pennies is $65.97 

                                                                              he hadnt a clue how she devised he bought three thirteen pound bags  over his shoulder a canvas bag  the catfud stuck out of the top of it 

                                                                                                     seemed  Obvious

he handed the nine dollars back explaining she made an errorwas wrong

she blinked real big nice eyes  a petite young gal 

                                                     thats when she said I thought you bought three bags

handing him the five spot back Thank you for your honesty.

he pondered

let the five lay flat on his palm

  Yare welcome

he withdrew his hand folded the bill into others in order before he excused himself thanked her for her time 

walking outadjusting the bag on his shouldercrushing the top of the catfud so it wouldnt jab him in the armpit as he walked the mile and a half home he decided one time is honest two times stupid 

                                                                                   he wasnt fond of stupid AND this was an ongoing trifle between him and the market it repeatedly erred in its favor that how business works it was his business to catch their errors 

                                 BUYER BEWARE
