Agnes by Tony Cochran for March 11, 2025

I wonder who would win if these two compete for common-sense

I’ve got no strings to hold me down

Agnus is in for a surprise. Ya’ go into Dollar General, or Dollar Tree, and the cheapest thing is $2.99 ! They’re ALL a bunch of scammin’ liars !!

I’m old enough to remember the original ‘69 Cent’ stores.

Classified information, Trout.

Now there’s an answer/question for Jeopardy’s “Stupid Answers”… ☺

When I was very young, my mom used to take me to the dime store to do my Christmas shopping. I remember not being able to see over the counters very well. She would need to pick me up to see. They had a large selection of items to pick from. Of course, a dime was worth a lot more then.

Trout’s question could be “How much string is it?” which is logical. :)

Balls of string: 3 for a dollar, 4 for a five.
