Get Rid of the Nine Tenths

Somethings are listed as a bargain they make it sound so fine "You can buy this for under thirty bucks"! Whats the price? $29.99. Wow, that's a whole penny there's no way you can lose. with the money you'll be saving how could you refuse? The current price of Gasoline is $2.68 and nine-tenths why not make it $2.69 wouldn't that make more sense? The extra one-tenth of a cent I'm sure glad I don't have to pay it would be such a financial burden more than I can say. I'ld probably need a second job which wouldn't be too great they could relieve a lot of pressure if the price was just $2.68. I don't want to seem facetious lets call a spade-a-spade lets make the penny obsolete then we'ld have it made. There would be no more prices that end in 99 they'ld likely go to the nearest buck which is what I had in mind. But none of that will happen that I know for sure that 99 is here to stay we'll just continue to endure!

Enjoyed this whimsical read, priced at 99 cents. Marketing assures us people are quicker to buy a product that is listed at 29.99 instead of 30.00$ Nice piece.
