You know, I stared at that Gold Plated Washington Quarter for hours trying to make it change into an old $10 or $100 Gold piece, .......... but that stubborn little coin just would not change.
Oh well, I'll just keep looking.
I have a cousin who used to be addicted to going to auctions. I was with him once and he bid on a large box of old clothes. He won the box for $7 and I teased him about it the rest of the evening.
The next day he called me and asked me to come over. I inquired as to why and he said; "I want to show you what I found in that box of old clothes you teased me about." When I arrived at his home he handed me an old long tailed black suit coat. "Try this on and see if it fits you.", he said. I put the coat on and my arms stuck 7 inches beyond the cuffs. "You called me all the way across town to show me this?", I said. "Look in the inside breast pocket and see what I found in that old coat.", he said smiling from ear to ear. I slipped my had into the pocket and felt a coin, ............ and pulled out a mint $10 Gold piece.
Needless to say my chin hit the floor!
I never did tease him about silly stuff he bought at auction after that, ................. not even the huge box of 18 old bowling balls or the box of 31 old highschool football shoulder pads, ....... nope I learned my lesson and keep my mouth closed now.
