The other day, I received a booklet of coupons for a fast food restaurant.   Since I really like the restaurant, I was pleased to get the coupons.

The next time that I went to the restaurant, I placed my order and handed the clerk my coupon.  “$5.23” she told me.  “$5.23?  That is the regular price with out the coupon.”  “That is  correct.” she said.  When I asked if the coupon had expired, she said that it hadn’t. “So, the price with the coupon is the same as the price with out the coupon?”  “Yes” she replied.

Well, alrighty.  I threw the coupon booklet in the trash.
