You're getting to be a real nuisance with your 10¢ schtick... NOTHING
costs a dime anymore, hasn't for many years... Dollar Stores is as low
priced as it gets. About all a dime is good for anymore is an
emergency screwdriver. Last time I remember a dime able to buy
something good was a 10¢ charlotte russe, 1955, when for a charlotte
russe chubby Sheila would let be play with her big boobs.
