There was a man, who everyday went past this hot dog stand.

As he walked by, he would leave 50 cents on the stand.

Well, the old lady who owned it never asked the man why he never took a hot dog, since he kept paying for them.

Then one day after he put his money on the stand, the lady said "HEY SIR".

"I know what your going to say", said the man. "You want to knowwhy I keep putting 50 cents down and not taking a hot dog."

"No", said the old lady, "I just wanted you to know that they went up to 75 cents".
