A local charity had never received a donation from the town’s banker, so the director made a phone call. “Our records show you make $500,000 a year, yet you haven’t given a penny to charity,” the director began. “Wouldn’t you like to help the community?”
The banker replied, “Did your research show that my mother is ill, with extremely expensive medical bills?”
“Um, no,” mumbled the director.
“Or that my brother is unemployed? Or that my sister’s husband left, leaving her broke with four kids?”
“I … I … I had no idea.”
“So,” said the banker, “if I don’t give them any money, why would I give any to you?”
A local thrift store has hundreds of boxes of these “dessert forks.” HUNDREDS and HUNDREDS and HUNDREDS of boxes, in different configurations - pretty boxed sets like this one, plain cardboard boxes like a restaurant might order, bigger sets that include matching knives.
I do feel bad for the local entrepreneur who probably lost a bundle on this, but… !
I have no clue what those were supposed to be good for.
Does anyone here know?
I went to a thrift store with a massive box of very very nice new T shirts.
Fine cotton with no stupid images or text on them.
It was 5 ft by 5 ft by 4 ft tall.
I spent a good 20 minutes digging through the box looking for a my size.
Nope. Every one was an XXXL or XXXs!
