The guy seemed to have a story or a joke for every occasion and I&#8217;m pretty sure I heard &#8217;em all. That never stopped Dad from sharing his repertoire over and over again anyway.<\/p>\n<p>What I really loved about Dad is that even when he was repeating a particular joke that I had heard 76 times before, he told it with all the verve and gusto of somebody reciting it for the very first time.<\/p>\n<p>For example, I probably played 500 rounds of golf with him over the years. And it was no coincidence that was also the same number of times I heard him repeat the joke about the duffer who was so cheap that, instead of yelling &#8220;fore&#8221; after each errant golf drive, he insisted on shouting $3.99!<\/p>\n<p>Dad usually told that one right after a member of our foursome finishes slicing a long shot into an opposing fairway.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s something else that&#8217;s kind of funny: I read <a href=\"http:\/\/www.psychologytoday.com\/blog\/priceless\/201001\/does-9-just-sound-cheap\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">this article<\/a> in <em>Psychology Today<\/em> pointing to research confirming that establishments should always price their products with a 9 at the end, rather than so-called &#8217;round&#8217; numbers that end in zero. Why? Well &#8230; because the number nine actually &#8220;sounds&#8221; cheap. No, really.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, the article goes on to explain that:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>Sounds pronounced with the front of the mouth (for example, long a, e, and i; or fricatives like f, s, and z) trigger associations with smallness. (Think of words like tiny and wee.) The vowels pronounced at the back of the mouth, like the &#8216;oo&#8217; in foot or goose, are linked to largeness. (Think of huge crowds &#8216;oohing&#8217; and &#8216;ahhing.&#8217;)<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Of course, after reading that, I know exactly what you&#8217;re thinking:<em> What the heck is a fricative? <\/em><\/p>\n<p>Beats me.<\/p>\n<p>The important thing to note is that, ironically, if the theory is correct, prices ending in 9 subconsciously signal to buyers that they&#8217;re looking at a great deal, while prices ending in 0, 1, and 2 are perceived to be more expensive.<\/p>\n<p>I think that&#8217;s a complete crock. I don&#8217;t need <a href=\"https:\/\/lenpenzo.com\/blog\/id1255-22-signs-your-college-degree-might-not-be-worth-the-money.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a PhD in psychology<\/a> to know that, when it comes to closing a deal, consumers are influenced much more by sight than sound.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s face facts: Merchants price items at $3.99 instead of $4.00 simply because most people, naturally, tend to focus on the most significant numeral. That is, the ones farthest to the left, closest to the dollar sign.<\/p>\n<p>Take gasoline prices, for example: Almost every gas station advertises their prices to the nearest nine-tenths of a cent. Why? Because $4.999 per gallon looks <a href=\"https:\/\/lenpenzo.com\/blog\/id1616-the-grand-illusion-how-cheaper-gas-ultimately-costs-you-more.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a whole lot cheaper<\/a> than $5.00 per gallon. Sound has absolutely <strong><em>nothing<\/em><\/strong> to do with it.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s my story anyway &#8212; and I&#8217;m sticking to it.<\/p>\n<p>By the way, if my dad was still here I&#8217;d give him a call right now &#8212; just to see if he had any old jokes about fricatives he&#8217;d like to share.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><span style=\"font-size: smaller;\">Photo Credit: Violette79<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My dad, who passed away in 2020, was a real comedian.
