Checker: Try your pocket.
Ann: There's just keys and...hey! *pulls out $.30 exactly*
Checker: See?

I thought Kent worked at a newspaper...?

p.s. Love your icon!

LOL

You truly are one of the most quick-witted people I know. I admire you for that.

Nah, the checker was just remembering what had happened before in the future.

Hee! My first reaction would have been "psychic!", which wouldn't have made sense unless you were wearing sentient trousers, but I'm not always quick on my feet.

OH MY GOD! YOU HAVE X-RAY VISION AND YOU LOOKED IN MY PANTS!

Seems a perfectly reasonable conclusion to me....

Clark Kent had a summer job as a cashier when he was in high school. This kind of thing used to happen there *all the time*...!

What store? REVEAL ALL BEFORE THE CASHIER CONTACTS ME WITH HER MIND!

...And if this were Japan, you'd just hand the checker a hundred and not think twice about it.

Apologizing for a twenty...man, I'm dreading the culture shock.

I had exact change once, on the way home from space camp. I had a horde of coins after being a bunch of spacey souvenirs, and when we stopped outside of memphis on the way home, I had the exact amount of coinage to pay for a chocolate milk and almond joy! ($2.71)

I was once going through the metal detector at the airport, and they gave me the whole: have you removed any metallic items, keys, loose change, and I pointed at the little basket which contained all of the above. Then the bloke asked: do you have any Fisherman's Friends in your pocket. And I did. It was creepy.
