This is the planet Algon, fifth world in the system of Aldebaran, the Red Giant in the constellation of Sagittarius.

Here an ordinary cup of drinking chocolate costs four million pounds, an immersion heater for the hot-water tank costs over six billion pounds, and a pair of split-crotch panties would be almost unobtainable.

A simple rear window de-misting device for an 1100 costs eight thousand million billion pounds and a new element for an electric kettle like this would cost as much as the entire gross national product of the United States of America from 1770 to the year 2000, and even then they wouldn’t be able to afford the small fixing ring which attaches it to the kettle.

Each bunch of grapes gets its own white paper hat.

Clearly I chose the wrong line of work. My only hope is the Mega Millions.

Wasn’t there a Peanuts strip where Lucy and Linus argue whether it’s a “group of grapes” or a “bunch of grapes”?

The Japanese seem to be the craziest of the Orientals....
And, I for the most part, see most Orientals as way out there.

I’ve seen these grapes at Sam’s Club for a $1.99 a pound.

In the high-end department stores, it’s not unusual to see apples for 3000 yen or melons for 8000 yen. However, the fruit is perfect in appearance, intended as a gift, perhaps.

The seeds from those grapes may objectively be worth a lot of money, though it would be better to start with more than the amount from one bunch.

An easy way to convert Yen to Dollars is to realize that 1 yen is roughly equal to 1 US. CENT
