The Slice

Visions of post-apocalypse Spokane

There's a sign outside a gas station mini-mart in downtown Spokane advertising a special on milk.

It's for something like two gallons or several half-gallons. In any case the price listed is $600.

Maybe they didn't have any decimals for the reader board. Or maybe they reasonably assumed that would be understood as meaning six dollars.

But since I started seeing it a couple of days ago, I always think "That is how much milk will cost after the zombie uprising or whatever."

"OK, if I put that on my charge card?"
