4 times the original price is $3.96, so buying the 'bargain' actually costs you an extra 3 cents.

Don't let our space-stations and skyscrapers and super-computers and Teslas fool you; we're actually just a nation of bumpkins and most of us can't count well enough to see through that 'bargain.'

So much so that you can't tell who's the fool, the one that made the sign or the ones jumping on that bargain. Public education at it's finest! :roll:
