The nominal service charge is not to be less than one million (1,000,000) units of the local currency denomination.
Okay!! So, since you're still reading this, there's got to be some fees associated in there. Now, since an agreement like this would only hold up in Berlin circa 1941 (or Cupertino, Redmon, or Irvine)2 I gotta use the old Deutschmark as the currency unit. So, lessee here. Add that, zum zum zum, carry the three, zum zum zum zum, account for current dollars, mmmmmm. Aha! You now owe me… thirty seven and a half cents! I… wha? Dammit!!
Knew I shoulda worked in computers…
