I used my charge card which had zero balance. Yes they cost minus 2 dollars each.

Why didn't you buy a lot of more minus apples? I would be rather welthy if I bought a few millions of these apples, and be charged minus 2 dollars each.

Yes, you are correct. I've done this transaction twice so far and now have 20 bucks balance on my credit card whereas i had zero balance to start. Let's keep this scam between the two of us. This is like turning lead into gold.

If it's nothing, shouldn't the apple guy have to refund my money or should he have paid ME for the minus apples, and why didn't i order 100 minus apples thereby making it a capitalist's dream?

youre getting ripped off, youre paying him to give him five apples

The manager at my local apple store is wise to you guys! He offered me this deal;

"take as many apples of what type you want but tomorrow you must give me back that number squared"

I said sure - told him what apples I wanted and came out ahead the next day. How come?

You cut them into square shapes and made applesauce with the clippings.

Granny is right

I took an imaginary apple - (made imaginary apple sauce with it.)

Next day I had to give him a minus apple - so I took a real apple and made real apple sauce.


Those of you that disagree with this solution have no imagination.

Why stop at one imaginary apple? Stop dozing and get a dozen dozens!
