My grandmother used to always say,
"If you saved a dollar a day, every day for a year, you'd be surprised how much money you'd have at the end of the year!"
And we'd answer, every time....
"I'd be surprised if it were anything other than $365."

grans always say shit like that.
I told her that the lottery is a tax on the stupid and the five quid per week she spends on lottery tickets each week would give her £260 at the end of the year.
Her reply? "Yes, but then I wouldn't get that wee bit of excitement every Saturday night, would I?"
She also asked me before I left this afternoon if I'd put a record on for her.
"you don't have a record player, gran."
"yes I do. You and Nicola (my wee sister) bought me it for my Christmas."
"oh...."
She meant a DVD. She sometimes calls it a VD player.
"my grandchildren gave me VD for my christmas."
Oh how we laughed around the Xmas turkey...

bennie,
here is a verse that was originally written for my tune No Reggae in Texas
http://doreenperi.com/noreggae.mov
"Don't play no Lotto in Texas
we only work for our pay
Don't play no Lotto in Texas
It's a tax on Stupid
and one I don't have to pay."
I excised it from the tune for purposes of brevity.
