Nothing But Cheap!

When I worked in telecommunications, people would often ask me to moonlight for them.  And when I had finished my 2 hour of work for them, they would give $5.  WOW!!  $2.50 an hour.  I could make 10 times that amount working over time.  Yet, they felt that they were doing me a favor.  And they would never think of paying me more than $5.  And then, I was committed to maintaining their telephones for free for the rest of my life.  And they couldn’t understand why I didn’t moonlight more.

Cherry Pits

I love homemade cherry pie.  But it seems like every time that I eat it, I get a cherry pit.

At first, I thought that the cherry pit was a failure of the cherry processing equipment.  But, there are never two cherry pits or three cherry pits, only one.  Then it occurred to me that maybe the cherry pit is added intentionally to every can of cherries to give it that natural flare.
