The box in front of my house never cost me a cent. I just yank the handle with a certain amount of force it pops open and i remove a paper. I don't consider this theft, merely rent. About three inches of the box is on my property.
5 cent dime?

Somebody's been screwing you over your whole life Scarp. Dimes are 10 cents. Nickels are 5 cents.
5 cent dime?
Scarp Posted Jan 25, 2000
The quote (you see the > at the start of the line?) was from the footnote in the original article. I'm well aware, despite being a brit, how many cents make a dime. The article was changed shortly afterward, but since there's no way to delete a forum entry (or is there?) my remark looks a little odd.
