Ouch, damn, ouch, damn, ouch, damn, ouch, damn

In summary, the conversation revolved around a person carrying tacks in their pocket and constantly poking themselves with them. They eventually suggest taking off their pants and flipping the pocket upside down to get the tacks out. The conversation also includes a funny interaction with a cashier about taxes.

I even poked myself trying to get them out of my pocket so I wouldn't poke myself anymore. Right under the fingernail too.

Take your pants off and then flip the pocket upside down and let them fall out.

Hmm, did I just ask trib to take his pants off? :redface:

I bought a rubber for 50 cents and the cashier said "That'll be 53 cents" I said "I thought it's 50 cents" and the cashier said "plus 3 cents for tax." I said "Oh, so that's how they stay on"

Just be glad you're only poking your fingers with the tacks.
