The title of this post was taken from the "for" line on the bottom of a personal check we received in the mail last week. It was for $1.10 - sixty cents for one itty bitty rubber chicken and fifty cents for postage. We mailed the chicken to Springfield, MA. Anyway. . .. some might want to brag about their biggest sales - and a large sale is always kind of thrilling. But today, we want to brag about our smallest sale. We probably should have asked the customer to just put a dollar bill in an envelope because the cost of depositing a check probably just about cancels out our small profit on a sixty cent item. We just might keep that check instead of depositing it. So we didn't make any money on the deal - we like being the kind of store where one can purchase one itty bitty chicken!
Glad that they didn't write a rubber check en.
