I wanted a Coke from the machine

[jeffandmistie(TEXAS)]

We have a Coke machine right outside my office here at work. (we call every drink dispensing machine a 'coke' machine down here, whether it's dr. pepper or pepsi or whatever, lol). Anyway, didn't have any change or cash on me. Instead of bumming from a co-worker, I had a great idea. I happened to have my detector w/me in the car. I ran to the local park down the road on my break, jumped out, discriminated everything except quarters, and wah-lah, within 10 minutes I had 5 quarters. So, I sit here typing this message drinking my ice cold coke, and still have one dirty quarter in my pocket.

Haha...that's awesome. It kind of sucks sometimes bending down to get that dime but they do add up even if it doesn't seem like it.

I use to do something similar. In my towns center there use to be a thrift store.A hundred yards down the road from the thrift store there was an antique shop. For a free lunch i use to go into the thrift store, pick up an old tool from the mill that use to be here years and years ago,or pick up something else that i thought the antique dealer would be interested in. Buy my thrift store find, walk down to the antique dealer and sell him my thrift store find. I usually doubled my money or at worst made a few buck profit.
