But He Saved Some Money

He didn't use the radio of his car. He never used the AC. Often times he did not turn on the lights of his car at night. He was trying to extend the life of his car battery. One night he had his car lights off while he drove on a dimly lit road. He hit a man who was walking his dog. He seriously injured the pedestrian. He also damaged his headlight (which of course was not on) and a fender. That night he may have saved 6 cents from not using his battery. The damage to his car was over $800.00. But he saved some money. Maybe 6 cents. Speaking of vehicles: a certain man was the manager of a large gift, jewelry and tool store. He had a very dependable delivery truck he used to pick up and deliver goods. He did not like to have the truck maintained and serviced. He wanted to save money, so he only spent money on gasoline for the truck. After many months; the engine had absolutely no oil. The engine became inoperable. It was ruined. By not changing the oil and filter; he was able to save around $80 per year. To fix the damage done to the truck through neglect; would cost $3,000.00. The corporation fired the manager and bought a new truck. But he had saved them some money.
The young man had snuck into the high school footbal game many times by jumping over the fence. He did not want to spend $5.00 for a ticket. Tonight he was sporting his brand new $45.00 jeans. He was at the game waiting for his chance to climb over the chain link fence. He saw his chance. He moved quickly. But he was not careful enough. He ripped his brand new jeans on the fence. He got into the stadium. He ripped a brand new pair of $45.00 jeans. But he saved some money. Five bucks.
