National degeneracy

[jhetley]

Kids these days.  Handed coins to the guy behind the counter this morning, a quarter, three dimes, and a nickel, $.60 US as usual for the morning paper.  Which is the correct price.  He claimed he needed another dime...

Took him three tries to decide I had it right.

If you can't count money, you're gonna have a few problems with the modern world.

It may have, but my grandmother left Ireland in 1912.
