[Joke] Balloons inflation

[hweetsong (tsong)]

Watching two workers fill balloons with helium
at a gift shop, a customer approached them
and asked the price.


"It's 25 cents per balloon," a co-worker said.


"It used to be ten cents," the customer complained.


Another customer, after hearing the complaints,
concluded,
"Well, that's inflation."
