So…I think to properly understand the magnitude of the loss, we should take some of the other twenty dollar bills that we have not lost and work our way through the list over the next couple of weekends. Reids hot dogs, Paula’s donuts, family sized bags of chips, 6 packs of beer and bottles of wine…Sound like a good time! And we will really know exactly what we lost first hand…not just in words. Just my thoughts.
Really, really awesome intellect you’ve got there Spouse. I’ll go start on the chips right now!
Five minutes in front of a slot machine. Maybe.
So…easy come easy go? Or, 5 minutes of anything’s possible adrenaline?
I’ve spent $20 (or more) on two beers. Too many times to dwell upon …
How bout 3 bags of potato chips and 1 6-pack. Good for one summer afternoon
3 six-paks and 1 small bag of chips …any season
Priorities!
