Giving Back Change

I have an idea. This one is based on purchases made with cash. One buys something totaling $83.79, pays with a hundred dollar bill, and is given back change. How much, I'm not sure, as I hate math.

But, I do like words, and here is my idea.

Lets give back change for those conversations when entirely too many words are given.

Like

Um

Though

You know

I was like, then she was like, then we were like

Let's give back all profanity also. Reflect it back as if wearing a shield against it.

All tongues could use a good red pen.

If only people were more penny-pinching with words.

"Like, um, you know, it would be hard to enforce though." Please pull ahead to the second window.

And I return your 'like', 'um', 'you know', and 'though'.

Brilliant! I can think of LOTS of people I owe change to!

I love the line "all pens could use a good red pen"!
