That seems like an awful lot of effort for a soda. I mean, if I want it, I can spend a buck and buy it myself, yannow?

It's the principle of the thing.

It's the principle of the thing.

Right. For a whole dollar.

Right. For a whole dollar.

My principles don't start till around $10!

RR is just a cheap principle slut!

Principle, schminciple, it's the joy of the chase. As a junior high student I once won a box of imported French cheese for an essay I wrote. One of the early triumphs of my suburban, vanilla life-style.

 

[R. Richard]

Actually, it's up to [drum roll please] $1.59!

There's a very old joke. A man asks a woman if she will fuck him for one million dollars. She replies, "For a million, hell yes." The man then asks the woman if she will fuck him for two dollars. The woman is insulted and asks, "What kind of woman do you think I am?" The man says, "We already settled that. We're haggling over price now."

That's been ascribed to Winston Churchill but who knows?

Did the family gather 'round when you cut the cheese?

(Ba-bum-bum.)

Some years back, I rescued a software project that some idiot had run into the ground. I managed to get a substantial number of $10 bills from the company. I then announced that each time a specific kind of step in the software development process was completed, the one who did the work would 'win' $10, as long as the money held out. The first guy completed a step and I handed him his 'winnings.' No one would have worked hard for a pay increase of $10, per module, but this was WINNINGS! The developers worked very hard to WIN $10. When I then scolded them for leaving the data entry ladies out in the cold and awarded each of the ladies $30 in WINNINGS, the whole group applauded and I had the software development back on track.

Earning $10 is no big deal. However, WINNING $10 is a big deal!

How long has it been coming in a 21 oz. size?

Aha!! Is the coupon out of date? If it is, they have let you down!

Nope, they are good until 2/28/09.

I can't tell you. I went to my local WalMart, since many of the other stores were out of the 16 to 21 ounce Dr Pepper and the WalMartians were out as well.
