IT WAS THE BEST OF TIMES, IT WAS THE WORST OF TIMES

I thought it was the Best dollar I have ever spent. My 1.00 pencil sharpener. It gave me instant satisfaction. It worked so well. Then a week later, tragedy struck. It broke. We get what we pay for.

So what did I do?

I bought a 2 dollar pencil sharpener. So for so good.
