"Have you seen the new cars coming out next year? It won't be long before $1, 000.00 will only buy a used one."

"If cigarettes keep going up in price, I'm going to quit; 20 cents a pack is ridiculous."

"Did you see where some baseball player just signed a contract for $50,000 a year just to play ball?

"Thank goodness I won't live to see the day when the Government takes half our income in taxes. I sometimes wonder if we are electing the best people to government."

"There is no sense going on short trips anymore for a weekend. It costs nearly $2.00 a night to stay in a hotel."

"If they think I'll pay 30 cents for a hair cut, forget it.
