Word Salesman

Last week I posted a Friday Funny called Cow Salesman where we found out what would happen if cow salesmen were like car salesmen.  I got an ‘off blog’ comment that we all should price our products this way.  So I thought I’d play with the numbers and here’s what I came up with:

Words ……………………………………………………………………………………….$14.95
Title Fee ……………………………………………………………………………………..$1.73
Order Tax (ya gotta have the words in the right order!) ………$20.99
Translation Fee (so my thoughts are in ENGLISH) ………………..$10.75
Punctuation Accessories ……………………………………………………………$7.95
Adjective Fee ………………………………………………………………………………$4.95
Paragraph Charge ……………………………………………………………………..$2.23
PDF Handy Carrying Case ………………………………………………………..$17.95
Years of Research and Education ………………………………………..$1059.72
———————————————————————————————————-
Total cost for one communication study!
…………………………….$1141.22
