Money

i’ve been doing some exterior work on my house as of late. i guess the

activity attracts people. on tuesday a man knocked on my door with two

handfuls of pennies asking for work and telling me some story about his wife

and paralyzed child and how he needed to get to polk county. i told him that

he had more money in his hands than i had and that maybe he should employ me.
