But, American or Canadian dollars ?
Yes!
*nods*
I choose But dollars. They’re worth a great deal more.
Butt dollars? What happened to piggybanks?
You don’t think that’s what the Vicars piggybank is?
Of course I did! I just wasn’t aware that AGATT is the vicar.
Tricksy vicar is everywhere.
I’m pretty sure the vicar’s piggy bank only has potatoes in it…
Piggy? Is he related to Carlton, Hillary and Ashley? They’re a great family!
YOU’RE PAYING HALF A CENT MORE!!!!!
canadian dollars = myth
Butt dollars = slightly stained
lol
Still good enough to get me some prime duct tape.
I like the part where the revised price actually costs you two cents more, forces you to buy two, and purports to be a sale.
A penny for your thoughtlessness!
These are hard times. Make it two.
No one asked for your two cents.
Sniff, thoughtlessness wins…
Usually does, I hate to say.
Oh well, we’ll pool all our 2 cents and fight against it!
Coins against humans is a little unfair.
They’ll nickle and dime us to death.
Hit the nickleback, dimewit!
Who are you calling a dimewit! You’re only a quarter wit to me!
That’s more than half. I’m content.
It’ll be the end of the specie!
That’s pecuniarily dangerous!
*deposits her $.002*
Two one-thousandths of a dollar?
That’s far less than half.
In YOUR opinion!
In the interest of humanity.
that doesn’t add up
Sorry, I don’t math.
Where is the fail?
3.49$ per unit. x 2 = 6.48$
Buy 2 and you pay = 7.00$
6.98$… that’s a cheap fail
You forgot tax Mr. Man
I don’t know where this photo is from, but where I live we do not pay tax on food purchases.
Same here.
we pay seven cents to the dollar…
Pretty sure Chicago pays even more.
I bet they sell more though, a lot of people will see the flashy red banner and 2/7.00 and think they are getting a deal.
This just shows your local grocery store thinks you are an idiot.
I worked in a grocery store, years ago, and they really do think the customers are somewhat dim.
Most people also do not check, at the cash, the amount they’re paying.
I’m sure many of the customers ARE somewhat dim.
They should lighten up.
Watt?
Sorry, sort of lost you there….
Math is just an opinion.
Haggle with the grocer.
Diamo un affare!
Ti do un abbraccio.
How much for one more?
For you? Come closer… *whisper, whisper, whisper, nod*
You’re a riot!
Am not!!! I am Leila!!!! It says so right up there.
*points*
I meant you’re funny!
(My father says that, maybe it’s too old)
I knew what you meant.
I can’t help myself sometimes. I am currently in therapy and some of the voices in my head are…, wait. Why are we talking about his?
My voices told your voices to do so.
That ‘splains everything.
*haz a scurred*
Like you didn’t know I was already in your head.
You are always on my miiiiiiiiiiiiiind, you are always on my mind….
♫ Don’t break my heart, my achy breaky heart … ♪
HAH!!!!
Which version?
Luckily, there’s still a bit of leg room in my mind.
Ms. B… the drunken aunts in Practical Magic.
Leila, sorry for the collateral damage, but I’m trying to get back at Ms. B for DAYS of earworms.
Lime inna cocunut n ya drink it alll up….
Hmmm…not much affect :p
Come, Mister tally man, tally me banana
Daylight come and me wan’ go home
Come, Mister tally man, tally me banana
Daylight come and me wan’ go home
I LOVE that song, Arthur!!
also – if leila talks to those voices, she’s my(our) new best friend!
Which voices? German? Italian? English? American? African?
BE SPECIFIC!!!!
*hyperventilates*
OOOooooh! I like it when the German voices get all angry-like!
lol any and all are fine with me, i regularly have convs with myself, or as i say, the other mes, around here
I like the European accented voices.
*nods*
What about angry French. I think that would like totally sexy and …stuff. ♥ …then angry French sex. TMI?
Nous pouvons parler en français, si vous voulez.
You didn’t have French as an option. Besides…too much phlegm.
Mais non. Salope!
So eine SCHEISSE!
O la, ont est gentille, oui!
(Il y a beaucoup de femmes!)
Cough, phleme, gag.
-hopes liela and victo have french cyber sex..despite not being able to read french-
Apparently s l u t is a bad word here.
oh she’s not french…just canadian, go go go
It is hard to type whilst hacking up a lung, but this made me laugh so hard I can’t stop coughing!
Can I interest you in these brand new “salope” or this fine piece of German engineering: “Schlampe”?
no you can’t arthur, shoo!
i’m trying to make the magic happen and you’re messing it all up arthur!
jaymze was here first and he wants to see us chicks chatter away in French.
jaymze was here fìrst and he wants to hear us chicks chatter away in French, for some reason.
*searches frantically for Arthur’s “like” button*
He keeps it right there MsB.
*points at AE*
*doesn’t say where*
Presssssssssss iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit!!!!!
well if you put it THAT way, it sounds dumb victo!
*likes*
*presses up on Arthur*
Like that?
Arthur's brain is currently not available due to temporarily loss of blood pressure.*doesn’t cover eyes*
It appears that Arthur needs the cold water from VV.
That won’t be enough.
*dunks Arthur in a vat filled with ice water*
*shrinks*
We’re here to.. [ clap ] Pump.. you up!
Go ‘head MsB!
*snickers*
You said head!
*giggles childishly*
Did you just blow my cover? I totally so didn’t accidenty the ‘head. heheheheheh!!!!
Was it *snortgiggle* hard *snerk* to get it right?
Hehehehe – blow! HARD! hehehehheee
Here’s the sofa, have some cold water and tell me all about it.
Nah, I prefer you write me a prescription for some happy pills! Whut? Shhhhhhhhh….don’t speak right now. Oh, sorry…I got interrupted again.
Do you want fries with that?
OK, so these pills are great, large, pretty blue; 3.67$ per bottle, or today, for you, 2 for 11.00$ !
That’s a great deal!!!!
WAIT-A-MEEEEEEEENUTE!!!!!!!
Good girl! You’re cured!!
That’s what you think!
I am? Then why am I still flat chested? Hmmm????? I am calling the authorities!
*storms off*
I thought we were working on her brain….
*SNORK*
What kind of professional are you when you don’t know what part of the body you are working? Hmmm?
Avis, did I show you my chest? I don’t remember. Hehehehehe!!!!
*gets something off her chest*
*donates to Leila*
Yeah, I was thinking Avis was privy to a lot of info
Once cup or two?
*blink*
Avis might be victo. The internet is weird like that.
Nice!
3
Leila might be Mrs B.
(I mean, if they’re the same cup size…)
*puts on newly acquired chest enhancements*
*twirls around a few times in front of a mirror*
*takes a step to walk out and falls flat on the face*
OOOOOOOOOOOUCH!!!! Top heavy!
Hee hee! Leila still needs to work on her comma placement!
Not enough chest when you still fall flat on your face.
I have seen photos of you, Leila. AND I seem to remember, a loooooooong time ago, a few complaints about clothing shopping!
*snork*
Where?
*pokes MsB*
Where?
That was from a wet t-shirt contest in Cancun Avis. Wait, I’ve said too much.
Is that you in the spotlight?
epic replybuttonless thread is epic
*flipples Leila upside down*
*checks her all over*
LIES!!! :p
OMG!!!! CALL THE POICE!!!!! I’VE BEEN VIOLATED!!!!!
Do you want the violation Aussie style or American style?
Yes!!!
No ET Finger though. K?
I didn’t think Judy style was one of the options.
I am just making sure. Can never be too cautious. I still have the EXIT ONLY sign back there. I am considering getting it tattooed.
Not a bad idea, all things considered.
*violates Leila over down under and sideways*
Heeeeeeeee!!!!! I will reciprocate the violation as soon as I recover.
*patPats MsB*
*doesn’t say where*
OoooOOOooh! It tingles!
Do it again!
*patPats MsB*
*imposes Aussie style noogie*
*doesn’t say where*
Erm…I hope this is okay. We’ve not tried it like this before.
Hey, I’m always up for some adventure!
Me too.
Why aren’t you talking about the fail?
*giggles*
Because I know how you feel about hot dogs.
You do? It was just that one time in college. I swear…
(Ask her how she feels about italian adventure.)
Since then you have a beef with wieners?
Since you stared shagging the sheep in the barn.
*started
Did you forget “at me”?
No, he was staring.
Possibly. This English thing really doesn’t work for me some days.
You shouldn’t call your husband that, Leila.
Abuse is the only way I keep him in line. Ya know?
*nods*
*sighs*
I’ve missed you Failpeeps so very very much!!!!
*staggers off to find some oxygen*
Then comes the angry sex. Berry nice!
Wait…I don’t understand what it is I am saying.
I need to give her another pretty blue pill.
Why does it got to be a blue pill. I don’t need no freaking Viagra. I can get it up myself.
*jumps on NS and squeezes the heck outta her*
Missed you toooooooooooo!!!
Whoa. She just got it up to squeeze NS?!?!
Can’t …… breev!
*squeezes all her peeps*
Bad, bad, naughty Zute!
I was making sure NS gets the proper salute!!!!
*releases NS*
Sorry. Got a little overzealous.
Does that mean that you will be administering the spankings, Marius?
Yesssssssssss!!!
*lines up*
Wait…Marius is my bro. Can someone else volunteer?
I think I’m in a little to deep here.
*Tries to paddle for shore*
… oar not?
*Has a stroke*
Lets say you have a tax rate of around 3% (3 cents per dollar), you’d convert that to 0.03. So if you bought 2 packs, that’d be $3.49 + $3.49 = $6.98. Multiply that by .03 to get .21 cents on tax. $6.98 + .21 cents = $7.19
This is a deal, and therefore this fail is a fail.
So basically, you’re saying that with the deal, the buyer doesn’t have to pay taxes? Explanation fail.
Atleast somebody is paying attention
Some of us can’t afford to pay attention.
But squeezes are free!
*squeeze!*
*yoinks a squeeze*
*makes a run for it*
*stares @ MsB*
AHEM!!!!!
Oh! You’re right!!!
*yoinks squeeze jar also too as well*
Meep! Meep!
Pbbbbbbbbbtttthhhhtttt!
*stares at the fleeing roadrunner*
Hmmmph!!!
*squeezes Scotty*
*tiptoes up to Leila*
*extends one wing*
*tickles Leila’s foot with the very tip of said wing*
*fliesawaywithaquickness*
BWAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!
*goes to change*
E´ molto cara.
D’avvero?
Si, preziosa.
And taxes on two packs for $7.00 at the same rate would still be 21 cents…meaning the “deal” costs $7.21, or STILL TWO MORE CENTS THAN THE NON-DEAL.
This is not a deal, and therefore the explanation of why this fail is a fail is even more of a fail.
It was a joke, genius.
No it was not. Jokes are funny.
lol … you’re not joking! … oh wait …
The punch line to every knock-knock joke at my house is: It’s cold outside! These knock-knock jokes are funnier than the “joke” above.
And geniuses are clever.
where is the problem? 2/$7 is $0.28.
Actually that would be 0.28/$ . UNITS!
KNACKWURST
SELBER!
OMG!!!!!!!!! It expires today!!!!!!!! No time to do calculations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
don’t be too calculate!!
Use common cents!
This is fake. The photo has been doctored.
Gynaecological?
Abort, abort!!
*retries*
*Fails*
Hrmph!
*cancels*
C: enter
O.o
*pulls the plug*
(So very sorry folks)
Aww. I had so much fun toda
*Reformat drive*
Not doctored at all. I took it on Monday at my local Metro grocery store in Toronto. They really think we’re idiots for paying even more $$ for soon-to-expire stuff.
They give us this run around in Québec, too.
♪ Do you know the way to ban Jose? ♪
No sé.
You want me to write an essay?
oh nose!
*shrugs*
Okay. You have two days. 12 pages. Topic: Douglas Adams and Free Will. Go.
*skips off to Wikipedia*
That’s where all the cool kids go to write papers now, right?
Even former German ministers of defense. Hence the “former”.
I’m never sure if these are posted by sales people who are bad at math, or clever sales people who know their customers are bad at math.
My guess: Yes.
You are Canadian? That explains a lot.
Anne, I can’t count how many times I’ve come across signs like that at my local metro. Sometime they even increase the price and advertise “new lower price”. Between that and tons of expired product on their shelves, they’re a complete FAIL!
OMG! IM PAYING 2 MORE CENTS!
2/7 = 0.2857
0.2857 < 3.49
No Fail!
our new slightly higher price instead
A friend of mine used to work at Old Navy. They had cartons full of flip flops that were regularly $3.50 and they didn’t sell well. Once in a while, they would put them “on sale” at 2 for $7. They would sell much better at the “sale” price.
american stupidity never fails…
The people who figured out that putting them “on sale” for the same price works well should be commended, though. Way to capitalize on the stupidity of others!
Rupees
))
As long as they put a sign stating “Sale” people will buy.
