I certainly did, but no matter how I tried, I couldn't figure out how to make the shortage 76,001.
[laughs]
Lately, it seemed more and more difficult to make ends meet.
Luckily, my landlady doesn't usually press me for what I owe on my room and board, and when she does bring it up, she always manages to invent a new way of asking me for it.
Take last Wednesday morning at breakfast, for instance, when she tried another new approach.
Connie, you've hardly eaten a thing.
How about another egg, dear? They're only 89 cents a dozen.
[laughs]
Or a little more bacon, 79 cents a pound.
[laughs]
No, thanks, Mrs. Davis.
Well then, what about a little bread, 25 cents a loaf?
[laughs]
And butter, 68 cents a pound.
No, thanks.
Isn't there anything else you want, dear?
Why, yes, I'd like some water, 30 cents a tank full.
[laughs]

I'm certainly no child.
Just come right out and say it.
I want the money you owe me.
[laughs]
What else is new, Grandma?
