I just received a paycheck for 1 cent.

a penny for your thoughts

Was that pretax?

I know what. You're on direct deposit, someone made an error that left a penny hanging out there. They wrote the check to clear the books. Get even by not cashing it.

Don't mention it to any co-workers. You were the only one to get an annual bonus, apparently.

ZOWIE!!!

I'm goin' to DISNEYLAND!

no matter what sort of wise remarks this post generates just know in your heart Chai, that as far as I'm concerned you are worth it.

In fact I'll go so far as to say you're worth 10 times as much.

You're on the trail of a new scent?

Now you don't go spending that all in one place, ya' hear?

I got you beat, Chai! The first pay check I received at my current job was for $0.0. HA! Between the usual deductions and my FSA - they'd have had me pay the company back some money if they could've helped it.

Damn chai..


you ARE a cheap ass broad...

Heatwave, that reminds me of a story I read as a kid that really freaked me out.

Seems there was this sealed bottle with an imp in it. Whoever ownedd the bottle would have their hearts desire materially during their life.

The catch was 2 fold. You had to sell the bottle before you died, or you would damn your soul for all eternity, AND you had to sell the bottle at a loss. Oh, the buyer also had to be aware of the conditions, and you couldn't give it away.

Over the years, the bottle had been sold for less and less until it was in the next to last smallest denomination in the whole world.

The owner of it was faced with the prospect of trying to find someone to sell it to that would be willing to pay the smallest price in the world.





Someone like shewolf would probably buy it.

Ill give you 2 rocks..

Aha!

Here's the story, by Robert Louis Stevenson....ooohhh....scary..!

THE BOTTLE IMP

I just got ANOTHER paycheck for a penny!

I figured out it's because I recently had to divide my direct deposit amongst 3 accounts, and there must be a cent left over.

I'll just save the checks for a year and cash them in for a quarter

you're tithing right?

I got a real penny in the mail once.




Or was it a nickle?

I'm saving up for the operation for my mother.




'member in those old movies, like w/ jimmy cagney, it was always like "my mother needs an operation"

what kind for crying out loud?
