I picked up one at the gas station last night. So I coulda helped him out.

Got a 49-cent ice cream cone at the gas station a couple nights ago. The girl made mine extra-big for my dog (who was riding shotgun - I never let him drive). Besides, that car is a 5-speed and I’m pretty sure his short legs can’t reach the pedals and the shifter.

When I told her I wasn’t going to let him have at mine, she smiled and gave me a cup and a spoon with a bit extra for him.

He and the other dog enjoyed their small bit of vanilla ice cream. Not too much, mind you.

The gas was 16 cents cheaper per gallon than the station 3.7 miles down the road.

If it were legal to melt the pennies and sell as copper they’d be worth $11,346 give or take.

Pushing the load limits for that basement slab as well. Pennies don’t distribute weight like blocks.

It’s not a wall. It’s the boxes stacked on each other that the pennies come in.

"World record waste of time."

Now, WHY would you say that?? Would you say the same thing about people who do crossword puzzles, or doodle for the fun of it, or do puzzles of any kind? I see it as a way to relax and chill.
