Twenty One Dollars and Thirty Seven Cents

There was a line yesterday at UPS as I went to ship a package. It was a little slow, nothing terrible, but it led to me killing time by reading the various posters about what can and cannot be shipped via UPS.

Radioactive materials, for one, UPS will not accept. It made me wonder if someone had actually tried to do that.

Another chart listed that you cannot ship dead animals. I guess that means you can ship live ones, right?

On a longer list of what they won't ship was, 'Objects of Unusual Value'. My immediate thought was, so, something that costs $21.37? 

That strikes me as an unusual value. Have you ever seen something priced for $21.37? Do stores ever advertise: "Buy now at the special discount price of $21.37?" I know that in all my years in sales I have never sold or bought anything for Twenty One Dollars and Thirty Seven Cents. Not. Once.

So I guess that counts, doesn't it?
