$2.75 for a slice of pizza?!

And here I was thinking I'd surely get change from the $2 I had ready in my hands. UGH. And it wasn't even in Manhattan! Or any remotely fancy pizza joint! Merely some corner dive! Might be time to finally start using that pizza maker I got in 1995...buying my own low-rent ingredients...twirling dough above my head while playing Sinatra and wearing my wife-beater. Maybe dangle a lit cigarette out of my mouth. A lot to juggle...but I love a challenge. Three bucks for a fucking slice of pizza is just insane.
