USPS - Giving you a little bit more

Postal rate went up again... Hooray!

The following is a list of stamps I currently have on hand:
1 - 1 cent
2 - 20 cent
16 - 39 cent
56 - 42 cent
7 - Forever stamps

In the past week I've used just about EVERY combination of stamps you can imagine.
1-42 + 2-1's (until I ran out of all the 1's except for that last one.)
2-39's (until I found that sleeve of 20's)
2-42's (until I found that roll of 39's)
1-39 + 1-20

I've used EVERYTHING BUT the Forever stamps... Because you know, they're gonna be good FOREVER!
And here's another thought... How come computer keyboards don't have a 'cents' symbol?

This Little Light of Mine...

The 'Check Engine' light in my van lit up this weekend.

Today I took it to be serviced. I announced to the attendant that the 'Money' light came on.
"The money light?" he said.
"Yes" I replied, "But I believe you folks refer to it as the 'Check Engine' light."
He laughed.

They just called to inform me that the van needed $600 worth of parts and service.

Why don't they name dashboard lights more accordingly?
