Oh, About Thirty-five Dollars

This is the story that I have heard over and over, usually at every Golden Girls party. After the ladies have said their hellos and are starting to sit around and watch me test and weigh gold, a guest will say, "My husband told me to not even waste my time. I will only get 30-40 bucks." At this point the anticipation starts to build because the guests are seeing their friends walk away with $300, $500, $1,000 and up. Now it's the turn of the wife of the doubting husband. She is watching and waiting. Here it is. I say, "I can give you $546.29. Would you like to sell?" She replies, "Are you kidding? Of course I want to sell!" Then I always ask, "What are you going to tell your husband?" Always with a laugh, the reply is, "I'm going to tell him I got about 35 bucks!"

Baby is gonna get some shoes!!
