1 scrip for 1 malasada

A while back in electrostatic, doc! told us the story of when we grow up to sell apples in waikiki for 5 cents an apple. Well that moment might be closer than you think. This past weekend at Iolani Fair I noticed a sign for the junior's malasada booth. The sign you see below is the price board for malasadas in differnet quantites. Now the original purpose of the apple story was to say that the electric potential of a particle was one Newton per coulomb. These particles in space have verying amounts o electro poential depending on where the charge is placed in space. If the charge were placed closer to the particle the elctic potnetial would go up. But the amount of force acting on the particle would increse with the charge of the particle to maintain the certain Newton per coulomb ratio in the electric potential. This picture shows that story by illustrating that no matter how many malasadas one buys, it will always be one malasada for one scrip. Pretty darn stupid.
