[Mgs] Totally off topic but funny

[Barrie Robinson]

I get extremely annoyed at this 999.999 price list business.  Every 
damn price tag is in the 99999 class - I mean how dumb do they think 
we are.  SO this is the ploy I use to get back at these stupid price 
tags.  I go into a shop to buy something and tell the clerk that I 
find 9999 prices offensive and insulting - so I want him to show me 
whatever (shirts, tools, etc etc) but if he/she gives any price in 
99999 I will walk out and NOT buy anything.  So then the fun begins 
!!!  He/she will struggle to quote $50 instead of $49.99 etc etc.  I 
allow one mistake but on the second - I look at the number of goodies 
I was going to buy....and walk out - to return next day IF I have 
seen anything I really want.  It is tremendous fun!   I continually 
fight this insane doohickey and call people idiots when they quote me 
in 999999999.  Isn't it about time we put a stop to this - As MG 
people we should lead the way !!!!

There are houses here that are advertised at $399,999.99 - I kid you not !!!!!!
