$10 grill
Natalie has to be the coolest girlfriend ever. She's completely satisfied with picking up a couple $2 sweaters at the thrift store. Why am I so lucky, God?

On the way back from the bank (this was last week), she wanted to stop at this thrift shop because we had a couple extra bucks on us. She went off browsing through clothes, and as I was quitely shuffling through an old pile of hardbacks I heard this guy walk in the front. He asked aloud to the whole store, "How much for that grill out front?" I heard what sounded like somebody fumbling for a mic... then a voice over the intercom, "Ya'll get around to pricing that grill yet?" A minute of silence goes by then I hear this old lady voice yell from the back, "10 dollars!"

That's a pretty damn good deal for a grill.

I thought it was funny. So when we goto check out, there was no one around. We stood around for a minute, and I rembered the mic. I looked around the counter and found it. I switched it on, cleared my throat and quietly said, "Ready to check out now." Then we saw the old lady heads poke out and waddle over to take care of us. That was fun.
