WELCOME to TUESDAY AUGUST 5th, 2025

Here’s The Story…..
I had just stopped by a burger drive-through for lunch to eat on the way back to
work and I ordered the #1 combo (burger, fry, coke) for $4.29.

The drive-through cashier said “that’ll be $4.83, please drive forward.”

“$4.83? For a $4.29 meal? That’s 54 cents tax! That can’t be right,” my mind raced.
Tax is 8 cents on the dollar in Huntsville and for 4 dollars that would be 32 cents plus
1/3 of 8 cents would be 35 cents max. I’d heard of window workers overcharging drive
through customers and skimming the money for themselves. So I got a pen and paper
and did the long division since there were 2 cars ahead of me.

Let’s see … 483/429 … over 12 percent tax! When I got to the window I handed her a
5 and said, “$4.83 for a $4.29 meal is 12 percent tax. That can’t be right. Can I talk to
the manager?” She gave me my change and called the manager.

The manager comes over and I ask what the sales tax is in Huntsville, and she says 8
percent. I say that I just paid $4.83 for a $4.29 meal and that’s over 12 percent sales tax. 

She said that maybe the computer had rung it up wrong or had charged me for the biggie
size. She admitted it was supposed to be 4.63, and opened the drawer to give me my extra change.

“HA!” I thought to myself. “Six years engineering school has so heightened my mental mathematical
adeptness that I can do percentages in my head and my superior intellect has foiled a feeble 
ttempt by a drive-through worker to overcharge me.”

I took the twenty cents she handed me, proud of my staggering genius, and smugly drove off without my food. 
 
That’s my story and I’m sticking to it! Have a HAPPY TUESDAY people, stay safe,
and whatever you do, don’t forget to laff it up! Peace, I am outta here! Eucman! 😁

Guaranteed to Roll Your Eyes
One morning, I was roaming the aisles of my local supermarket, looking for items on my
shopping list and wondering why the graham crackers aren’t ever put in the cracker section.
In my futile search, I kept running into a guy I’d never seen before. He was wandering up
and down the aisles, with an equally lost look on his face.
Somewhere between the pasta and sauces, he looked up at me and said, “I can’t find a
darned thing in this store!” I knew how he felt, so I asked, “What is it you’re looking for?”
He said, “My wife.” 😮😮
