Maybe cashiering is a way to beat inflation.? :)

One of my favorites, too. But I always thought, it wasn't necessary.
 
I got one better. My wife buys lottery tickets on Mondays only because it’s her lucky day, which I never heard of people having a lucky day. But, on Monday she played the PA Lottery game Pick 5. She had all five numbers and won $50,000.00.

After taxes are deducted, she doesn’t know what she will receive until the check arrives in about 4 weeks.

If that's true it's small fry compared to the pen of John Lennon.

"I think I'm gonna be sad. I think it's today, yeah. The girl that's driving me mad is going away. She's got a ticket to ride. She's got a ticket to ride. She's got a ticket to ride, but she don't care."

What You Thought the Lyrics Meant: Just another love ditty by the Fab Four, right? Duh, it's about a girl the singer is madly in love with who's about to move away...

What They Really Mean: How many times did you sing along to this song with your parents while growing up? Well, this is awkward: "Ticket to ride" is reportedly the clever turn of phrase that John Lennon came up with in reference to the medical card that German prostitutes carried around to prove they were clean.

Love that meaning! It's hilarious.

But the is one Beatles song written by Lennon & McCartney that I've never figured out what they were thinking: "Run For Your Life."
I love the song; I hate the lyrics

Well, I'd rather see you dead, little girl
Than to be with another man
You better keep your head, little girl
Or I won't know where I am
You better run for your life if you can, little girl
Hide your head in the sand, little girl
Catch you with another man
That's the end, little girl
Well, you know that I'm a wicked guy
And I was born with a jealous mind
And I can't spend my whole life
Trying just to make you toe the line
You better run for your life if you can, little girl
Hide your head in the sand, little girl
Catch you with another man
That's the end, little girl
Let this be a sermon
I mean everything I've said
Baby, I'm determined
And I'd rather see you dead
You better run for your life if you can, little girl
Hide your head in the sand, little girl
Catch you with another man
That's the end, little girl
I'd rather see you dead, little girl
Than to be with another man
You better keep your head, little girl
Or you won't know where I am
You better run for your life if you can, little girl
Hide your head in the sand, little girl
Catch you with another man
That's the end, little girl
Na, na, na
Na, na, na
Na, na, na
Na, na, na

In case any of you never heard it:

The song with which The Beatles began John Lennon’s, ‘Run For Your Life’ was based around a line from an Elvis Presley song.‘Baby, Let’s Play House’, recorded by Presley in 1955, had been written the previous year by a 28-year-old songwriter called Arthur Gunter. It was loosely based upon ‘I Want To Play House With You’, a 1951 country and western hit for Eddy Arnold, written by Cy Coben.Now listen to me babyTry to understandI’d rather see you dead, little girlThan to be with another manNow babyCome back, baby, come
Come back, baby come
Come back, baby
I wanna play house with you‘Baby, Let’s Play House’

‘Baby, Let’s Play House’

Gunter’s song was a fairly straightforward statement of desire. Lennon, meanwhile, took the words and turned them into a menacing threat full of possessiveness and jealousy
John Lennon said, in Rolling Stone, 1970:
I never liked 'Run For Your Life,' because it was a song I just knocked off. It was inspired from the Elvis song: 'Baby, Let's Play House.' There was a line in it: 'I'd rather see you dead little girl, than to see you with another man, little girl,' so I wrote it around that sentiment.

I have tremendous respect for Sir Cliff Richard. One of my favorite songs of his was from my teenage years. Maybe a bit cheesy, but it still pops into my head occasionally. He is indeed talented.


And here's the more current Cliff Richard. He hasn't lost that talent at all!
