I was at the farmers market and had selected a variety of produce, including celery, carrots, cucumbers, and strawberries. I brought the bags to the cashier. He added up the prices.
“$11.30,” he said.
I looked at my watch.
“Is it 11:30?” he asked.
“Almost.” I showed him my watch.
He said, “How about if I take off a nickel so the price and time match?”
