    And to sweeten up the pot even more!!!!!!! .... I'll kick in a rubber band, 4 left over ("extra") screws from something I assembled years ago, a half-used Bic lighter, 3 assorted K-cups because I don't like those flavors, an almost brand new SAK toothpick, 12 assorted keys - on a key ring - from locks I've changed over time, some expired coupons that will make good fire starters, and the last chocolate covered Entenmann's donut in the box I've got in the fridge. And 3 individually wrapped spearmint candies I fished out of my suit pocket on Thursday.

    .... a pair of old reading glasses, a pencil with an unused eraser, some loose change from the cup holder in my truck, a coffee can full of assorted nails, a box full of wire coat hangers that were only used once, some Styrofoam coolers from Omaha Beef orders I got as gifts, 7 doubles from my beer can collection, and a framed sheet of $3.00 Confederate Bonds payable at 6%.

    Pfffffft. (cough). That was me blowing the dust off the Ban Button. I wonder if I still know how this thing works? Hmmmm. Oh, Crap. Sorry Crash. I'll be right back.

    EDIT: Just a test. Everybody's fine. Move along.

    You're starting to sound like my Mom did when I was a kid.

    Hey Welder? Need any thumbtacks? Maybe an unopened bottle of baby aspirins? Gotta' stay heart healthy, ya' know.

    Welder, scratch the chocolate covered Entenmann's donut from the list. It seems to have disappeared.

    Well if you will give that stove to me, I will have the girls put on thier hongs and rub all over you for 10 minutes, and give you a big kiss on the cheek. But that's all you get
    Besides, you are not a hobo so you don't need it anyway!

    WG - I'd hold out a little longer. In 8 or 9 more of Ken's posts you'll have enough to open your own thrift store.
