Inflation
People who are wrong are just as sure they're right as people who are right. The only difference is, they're wrong.

Re: Inflation
I don''t know — sometimes you can still get a deal when you need one.
A man wanted to rid of his wife but when he realized that he would get taken to the cleaners in any divorce settlement, he decided to kill her. He didn't want to do it himself, so he went out looking for a hit man. Many were willing to do the job, but the cost was outrageous. Finally he found a guy named Arthur who had been one of the finest hitmen in the land, but he was older and had put his old life behind him. However, after hearing just how much the man hated his wife, he agreed to come out of retirement for one final job for the token payment of one dollar.
Arthur made his move one day while the woman was shopping at the supermarket. Slipping up behind her, he quickly threw his garrote around her neck, cutting off her air until she passed out. He dragged her into the back stock area and finished her off there. Letting the body lie, he was just about to make his getaway when he noticed one of the grocery clerks on his break off in one corner. Not wanting to leave witnesses, he overpowered the clerk and strangled him as well.
What he didn't know is that there was a surveillance camera keeping watch on the back room to prevent theft and pilferage, and all this was seen on the monitors in the front office of the store. The end result was that by the time Arthur got to the front door, the police were there waiting to take him into custody.
Of course, this all made the local papers, under the headline,

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?
