Everybody talks about the weather but no one does anything about it and the same holds true for Inflation.
Part of the problem is Inflation in usually slow. It creeps
but we get raises so we don’t notice it. Or we do notice it but pay it no never
mind because we get raises so we don’t worry about it.

I’m From New Orleans And Being From New Orleans I Enjoyed
Coffee And Beignets (Donuts) Often Because They Were Wonderful To Eat And Because
They Were Cheap. It Was Not That Inflation Had Not Been Invented Yet It Was
That It Had Not Been Perfected Yet...
Ø
In my High School years, to impress girls and
trick them into thinking I was a Big Spender, I would take them to get Coffee
and Donuts (Beignets)...We called them “donuts”.
Ø
A cup of coffee and 3 powdered sugar donuts cost
25 cents.
Ø
One was 10 cents and the other was 15 cents and
I’m not sure which was which.
Today Inflation Raised Its Ugly Head And Slapped Me
Across My Wallet...
Ø
I gave the unpleasant checkout lady a $5 Bill.
Ø
She unpleasantly gave it back and unpleasantly said,
“6 dollars and 92 cents”.
Ø
I
sheepishly gave her a credit card (I use a credit card for big time purchases).
The Good News...
Ø
The donuts were great.
Ø
They were not smaller than they used to be (like
so many other things today).
Ø
They were absolutely covered with powdered sugar.
Ø
The big donuts almost were completely hidden by
the powdered sugar.
One
Uneaten Donut and Some Of It’s Accompanied Powdered Sugar
The Bad News...
Ø
The coffee was tasteless.
Ø
Next time you are about to order your coffee and
donuts remember what I am about to tell you...Don’t order the coffee and save yourself
$3.21.
Ø
The donuts had no vitamins in them.
Ø Of course, we all know that in regular unbeigneted donuts the vitamins are contained in the donut hole but these donuts do not have any holes, therefore, there is no place to put the vitamins.
I just know, on days like today, you are very happy you are a reader of my Foolishness...Or Are You?
Would I kid u?
