GRAND AVENUE BY MIKE THOMPSON Grandma: Mr. Barnaby's on the phone. He says he'll pay you a quarter to shovel his walk. Gabby: Wow! A whole quarter? Gabby: Could I use it to buy a sports car? Gabby: Or perhaps I could put it in the bank and live off the interest? Gabby: Better yet, I could buy a yacht and spend my days cruising the Mediterranean! Grandma: He offered you a quarter for his driveway, not a penny for your thoughts. Gabby: Can't talk now - I gotta decide which private island to buy!
Walk or driveway, a quarter IS pretty ridiculous.
