Getting my money's worth

This past summer, I was shopping for a coffee table. My good friend Emily and I stopped at a garage sale, which was run by a poor defenseless lady in a wheelchair. This helpless, kindly woman wanted an outrageous sum of money for her coffee table, so I began to bargain with her. With Emily making helpful comments such as “You know Todd, it really is a nice coffee table,” I managed to use my hardnosed bargaining abilities to fleece the little old lady and obtain my coffee table for a steal! So, if you ever need someone to help you rip off old ladies in wheelchairs, I'm your man!

I think someone is jealous that I beat her at Doppelkopf and now seeks to slander my good name:0)

Immediately after I read this blog entry, I received the following email from my program:

"Todd will be the new APC rep. We would have an election, but he was the only one who volunteered."

Hmm...was he REALLY the only one who volunteered? After hearing the story on this blog entry, I wouldn't be surprised if another, older, wheelchair-confined person was interested in the position, and we just never heard about it.
