Loripop–Wow. I meant those as rhetorical (actually even kind of snarky) questions and didn’t expect an answer! I’m impressed.

Johnny Cat–I should have been more precise. What I really meant was “when I saw the original airings of the shows.”

Meg,

The show provided the costumes. And no, they did not win. They came in second to Patty’s Prancing Poodles. Mom and Dad ended up paying for the platter for them. They won a plaque engraved with their names, of which Cindy bitterly complained,”How much do *you* charge per letter?”

The accountant on her lunch break loved this question!

Two more important questions than what tax rate the kids had to pay are how did they afford the costumes if they didn’t have enough to cover the engraving and did they win? Maybe I’m just too reality based as an adult–these sorts of things never bothered me when I was watching the show live.

5% tax. The hard part was counting the letters!

Yes, Koketika… the 75/100ths of a cent is rounded up. But government ALWAYS seem to round taxes up!

Yes, this song will be stuck in my head all day, but it is my own fault for clicking the link. Still . . . I blame mental_floss.
