25, twenty-five, twenty-five.

This is an interesting number.

What can be bought with twenty five dollars.

Hmmm....

A bus pass
A chicken
A goat perhaps?
A computer?
A diaper?
A shoe or maybe half of a shoe?
A shoe string?

A slice of bread?
A peanut. Maybe even a cashew or two.

Wow.

Let's count how many kids does it take to eat a peanut, perhaps two or three?
Hmmm...

One, oops. The peanut is already gone.

Now...How much money does it take to purchase an entire Nursing Home, business licenses, a wedding in the islands, a brand new car for the wife, and a car at the auction.

---

Peanut Butter costs approximately $2.24. , $1.85 is you utilize a coupon.
$25.00/$1.85= 13.52

So how many kids does it take to consume 13.52 containers of 6-8 ounce peanut butter?

30 days in a month
multiply that by 5 years.

30 days in a month
multiply that by 3.5 years.

12 months x 3 = 36 months
12 months x 5= 60 months

--

96 months x 13.52 containers of peanut butter with a coupon = 1297.92 containers approximately of crunchy or smooth peanut butter.

--Like A B C ' s ...

Let's compare to a car.
A car x 2 even.
A car consumes on average 12 gallons of gasoline unleaded x 2.
Because well, transportation is important to make it in to work now isn't it?
So 24 gallons of gas x 5 days with an economy car= 120 gallons of gas

120 gallons x $2.20 (worst case scenario) per gallon= $264.00 per 5 days

364 days in a year / 5= 73 fill ups (not including long distant leisurely romantic vacations)
$19,272.00/ year.

--

5 years of fill-ups= $19,272.00x 5= $96,360.00 of gasoline for the car to eat in order to make it to work to go on nice vacations with the important INDIAN girl.

--

5 years of peanut butter= much less.

--

Amount of money necessary to transfer property into someone elses name: costly
Amount of money necessary to buy a can of peanut butter: $1.85 with coupon, newspaper envelope and stamp under $1.00.

Like the muslim lady who startled up behind me from Fiji said at the store, "see the fish, people are so evil. Love is like an addiction."
