Coca Cola helped me rock out with my mom. - The world's stra

[I Will Deny You]

This is a long story. But bear with me.

A few days ago, my dad calls and says, "Your mom is really pissed because Stones tickets are so expensive.
Me: Uh, okay.
Dad: But we haven't been going to lots of concerts lately.
I wonder why he's calling me about this.
So we thought maybe you'd know of something cheap.
Me: Well, there are those DC101 shows in Chinatown.
Dad: How much do they cost?
Me: They're free.
Dad: Are you going?
Me: I wasn't planning on it.
Dad: PPPpppplllllllllleeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaassssssseeeeeee!! !!!!!!
Me: Oh, fine.

So, last night I went to a concert with my parents. It was one of the strangest experiences of my life, since I haven't done that since I was five and my entire family would pile into the bus and go to a Dead concert. The show wasn't especially good, but I was oddly uncomfortable. I'm usually very relaxed around my parents, but I was on edge all last night. The funniest part was when my mom went up to the Coca Cola tent because she was so thirsty (the concert was sponsored by Coke, among others) and got the people who worked there to sell her a coke for 50 cents, even thought they're supposed to charge two bucks. Afterwards she said, "I know that I should be happy that the concert was free in the first place. But I can't imagine paying two bucks for a Coke. I'd rather pay twenty bucks for tickets and a dollar for the Coke than nothing for the tickets and two bucks for a damned soda."

Well, I just thought I'd share.

Let me work this out.

Concert ($20) + 1 coke ($1) = $21
Concert ($0) + 1 coke ($2) = $2

Nope, i think id prefer it the second way.

Nope, i think id prefer it the second way.Her point was that she does not mind paying for something, as long as she wasn't being ripped off. She said she thought the lineup was good enough to charge $20 for and that the Coke was good enough to charge $.50 for. And if they had charged that much, it would have been okay with her. But what really gets on her nerves is being RIPPED OFF. (See the Abbie Hoffman quote in my signature.) She'd rather pay nearly twenty dollars extra to know that she had been charged a fair amount. She's odd like that.

I think that was cool. :D
Though I don't know how much is one dollar. *being a finlander*

Can you say how much it is in these God cock sucking motherfucking euros?

[I Will Deny You]

A dollar isn't too far from a Euro. I think the Euro's worth a little more.

1.00 U$D = 1.00897 EUR

and by the way.... i still think that $1 for a coke! is a total rip off.... i get pissed when its 50 cents.... a coke can is not even worth 25 cents.... but there you go... damned U$A
