Coupons

So I played a little tennis today, Blog.  Doubles.  Turns out, Mama's first serve ain't nevah goin in.

I have an aunt.  And she is wise and beautiful and smart.  And she sends me coupons.  She also knows all the calories in all the world for every food.  But that is for another day.  She encourages me to eat fruit.  Oh and the coupons.

So coupons are basically bits of paper that are sort of like gold.  And also like a board game. I won. This fruit is now half OFF.  Before, it was just a fruit that cost one dollar.  Now I have a coupon and guess what?  Now you're measly little fruit costs fifty cents.  Magic.  So I am thinking back to when we started bartering and trading and then the dollar bills came on the scene. Who came up with coupons?  Who came up with the idea that if I give you this piece of paper, what I am holding in my hand becomes less valued?  Whoever this guy is, he is smart.

I am just picturing me in a cape at the checkout line with E.  And the cashier is like is 7.50 and I am like Kablam! Here is a coupon; what is it now?  We could play that game all day long.  E and I need some new fun games to play.

Two for one?  Half off?  I guess it's about stock and moving goodies and entrancing people to purchase your schmickles.  That concept I understand.  So then we have the overload of product.  What happens to that?  Seems like a donation situation.  But the best is when you get a coupon for a product you were not even thinking about buying. 50 percent off of my own knuckles??  Fantab.  I'm in.

Anyway, give me all your coupons and send them all to me.
