Default Gloat - minor/major you decide

Went to a lumber dealer. Towards the end of the day
and they are getting packed up and ready to leave. I pick out some
Phil. mahogany
and popular that I need for a project They only take cash, so no
problem, I
have a stack of bills - total came to $275. Rats! I only have $230! No
problem
they said - they reconfigured the total - $229.86! Nice people! I'm
going
to shop their more often and yes, bring my checkbook!

Suckage depends on ratio of mahogany to poplar. 40/280 is about a 15%
sale. Also, no idea of cost/bf.

Now if you were to pick up some nice ash for $0.50/bf -- that might be
a gloat. Reminds me a gotta go the bank and get $(120x0.50) in green
backs for tomorrow afternoon.

Thanks for a postive post, MJ.

It may not go over well, though.
