Mutilated 10-centavo coin causes much fuss by a woman

RESPECT THE CENTAVO. A smartly dressed woman, about 50 years old, attracted some attention in a department store one afternoon recently. The cashier gave her a change of 35 centavos - in 25-centavo and 10-centavo coins. The 10-centavo coin was slightly mutilated and the woman complained. She wanted it replaced. But it was the only 10-centavo in the cash register. "Kinahanglan imo ni ilisdan og dili lumping," the woman said.

SHE BLEW HER TOP. The woman blew her top, so to speak, when the cashier said: "Para diyes tabos ra bitaw na." The woman shot back: "Ra? Rahon mo ra ng diyes sentabos? Naka-milyon ko, Day, tungod sa diyes sentabos." The curiosity seekers that had gathered into a small crowd shook their heads.
