PLANTS

[Spicy Jack]

I got a plant for my office so I am not the only thing alive in here. It is a Pachira (according to the tag on it). It seems easy enough to take care of cuz I am suppose to let the soil dry between waterings and I will forget to water it anyway so it will work out. It will die, it is just guessing on when.



OH! So I am at the store and I pick out the plant, then I see the pot that I want. Well, the pot is the last one and there is a chip on the side. I figure I can use a little marker and nail poilish, no big deal - but I will ask for a discount of course. I go up to the register and the young cashier has her cell phone ringing and can't speak properly at work to save her life. Anyhow, she tells me they usually give a 10% discount. Eh, I figure it should be more, but it isn't worth the hassle. She scans it. It comes out to $12.00. She says out loud, "okay, so it is $12 and 10% of that is....um......" I offer no suggestions in this moronic equation. If I can figure out 10% a monkey can. She stares stupified at the calculator then just punches something into the register"...uh...I just gave it to you for $9. Is that okay?" I smile and say that is fine. Oh so fine.



So how long before I kill it?
