Paying for the Pleasure

Many people think the higher the price of an item or a service, the better it is. The federal government is preying on those unsuspecting people.

Husband: Hey, look at this, dear!
Wife: What? Tell me before I go insane, honey!
Husband: The admission fee to Glacier National Park in Montana was doubled to $50.
Wife: Wow, dear! It must be twice as good now! Let's go there!!
Husband: It must be quite an experience. Why else would they raise the price so high?
Wife: We're guaranteed to have a great time! I'm feeling faint from the excitement!
Husband: Don't swoon now, my lovely! I can't wait for that exhilarating feeling driving in the wilderness on the Going-to-the-Sun Road!

Just what was going through their minds when they came up with that rule? Check the price of a Golden Eagle Pass -- if it's cheaper get that.

There was a box of chocolate that Nokia was hawking at $39 -- you got less than an ounce but were supposed to feel especially blessed, I suppose. (Downing a Chocolate Traveler as I write. They are worth the money! --> http://www.thechocolatetraveler.com/ 70% Cacao is just mind-blowing!)

Another, later thought: maybe they plan to bring in coolers to reintroduce Glaciers into the park?

50 bucks to get into a public park? Somebody needs an ass kickin.

Ass kicking especially deserved if they expect people to drive when getting to these damn parks (she says as she and Marge pack to head off to the Badlands et al so she can climb Harney Peak as a summer goal prior to the Relay For Life...)

Expenses are climbing as always for the summer vacation boom, but did they have to bite us for that too?
