                       Missed it by <EM>that</EM> much …
                                        
I'm at the gas station, filling up the car. I'm aiming for $10 and I'm
watching the digits count up. $7.00 … $8.00 … $9.00 … one, two, three, four,
five, I'm pacing it, six, seven, I can feel it, eight, nine **STOP!** 

$9.99 on the pump. 

Darn. I squeeze the handle … 

$10.01 on the pump. 

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”
