different country?

OK.
I order a six-inch seafood and crab from the Subway sandwich house.
Located on Kane Street in McHenry, Illinois.
Shrimp, cheese, seasonings, bread.
Things are going swimmingly until 'Point of Sale.'
I present the coupon, which says the sandwich is only $2.99.
Guy reads coupon.
Guy holds coupon for almost a minute.
I say, "Is that the wrong coupon?" or something like that.
Guy says that, today being October 27, 2011, or 10/27/11, and the coupon expiring November 15, 2011, or 11/15/11, the coupon is no longer good.
I assume he has a problem, so I say, "OK, how much?"
Cash register says $4.00.
Guy tells me it's $4.40.
I may not go back to that particular Subway sandwich house.

THE MOONWALKER

The King of Pop was born in Indiana.
Five brothers and three sisters had his back.
From 'Off the Wall' to 'History,' his talent was no mystery.
If you don't like good music, please step back.
Michael Jackson was the brains behind the five.
He rocked the beat and then some, no mistake.
Critics tried to steal his thunder, say the whole thing was a blunder.
In the end, Michael was real, and they were fake.
