Can you tell me how to get ahold of $1500.00 quick?
Thursday, the family goes out for Chinese buffet and
a tour of "Value Village" then back home for homework or
WWE Smackdown<G>
That's the current routine<G>
Josh GMA#3911 was eating his won-ton and Cdr.Jen went for
a almond cookie... I sipped on my Tea and listened to the music
in my head<G>
"Er..Dad *I'm thinking I NEED a laptop, yah'know to study
and improve my chances of getting accepted to College ect...
I don't suppose you have $1500.00 cash laying around so-
I wondered if you had any ideas how I could get my hands on
the $1500.. QUICK!"
*my eyes crossed in disbelief..
"Yah man.. Only $1500.00? ..a cheap one will work?" <sly grin>
"well, if I did what I wanted I'd upgrade my Honda to a '88-91
and put a body kit on and DVD entertainment system in it.. *And
the laptop..."
There was a brief moment of silence-
tick..tock..tick...tock--
"Aha-humm.. Ok Josh here what you need to do-
Ben Bachi (*neighbor) is into his '50 Ford and needs a engine..
You own the enigine out of the Nissan pulled from your wreck..
with 5 speed and rear end- Ben just pulled the '46 Stoody out
of the orchard..*YOU reading me on my frequency?"
*Go make a deal with Ben for the engine he wants..
The "engine" for the '46 Stoody that he paid $50.00 for-
Pay for that deal with the sale of your Nissan z24 in the paper,
then clean up the '46 Studebaker and sell it on the Internet as
a collector truck.. *Ask $1500 or whatever you want.. We can
even deliver it anywhere on the west coast for a fee..
5 min's had passed since he asked his $1500.00 question..
Josh looked puzzled and said:
"ME? ..you think I should do that? ..That sounds like work!"
