                      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!”
