Back when I lived in Leicester the cashier in my local store fumbled the £2 coin I gave her and it rolled under the chiller. She was completely unapologetic and seemed surprised when I enquired about pursuing it. Hey - it's £2! I was only buying a pint of milk. Anyway, she was all shruggy and disinclined to help, so I lay on the floor and set to with my umbrella.

Ha! Lucky for me and unlucky for her! There was another pound coin under there and I seem to remember a 20p and 50p. I definitely came out of the shop with more than I went in, even after buying the milk.

Well, I'm not sure if I should feel clever or guilty about how I figured this one out, but here it is:

So, I was driving to work trying to think of ideas when I passed one of those clothes donation bins that was overflowing with clothes. There were about two boxes just sitting outside of the damn thing and not a person in sight. Now, ordinarily it wouldn't of even crossed my mind, but when I was homeless (long ass story) I used to clean these bins out and sell the clothes at consignment shops for a pretty good chunk of change. So, I took a few shirts that looked to be in good condition, went down the street to one of the consignments and made about $7. I didn't even have to scrape under a vending machine.

:sweat: :lol2: lol!!

You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it a fish!!!

Did you check the pockets?!? lol!

Yeah, when you grow up really poor you get bad habits. Well, when you're evil and you grow up really poor.

are you a genius? you kind of look like you might be. that would make you a poor evil genius.

Couch cushion, teenager's clothes or anywhere he's been, car seats, under furniture, in the laundry area, outside convenience stores, around newspaper racks.

Hm, maybe. I have a decent enough IQ and really I make enough money, I'm just really involved in paying off back debt now so I very rarely have any cash anymore.

By mid November I should be out of the hole, though. Then I can work on my death ray made out of aluminum cans and loose change.

There's some dude in a cape and top hat who ALWAYS finds a quarter behind MY EAR! It's amazing, it's astonishing! Don't ask me how they get there!
