A Story of Loved Lost, Betrayal, and Redemption

[BillyZaned]

alright, me and the wifey went to see a movie last night, yes, I decided to take off of work early, and take the wife out the theater.

Well, when I left work, I went to the bank to cash a couple Pay-roll checks that I forgot about, and I took back $1400 in cash, since I have some christman presents to buy and I'm a fan of using cash because if you only use cash, you can't overspend.

We met at the movie, went in, enjoyed what could be enjoyed, then went home. When I got home, I reached into my pocket to grab the envelope of cash I got from the bank, so I could put it in my dresser for safe keeping (having a two year old, keep cash away from them!). I reach into my pocket only to find my cell phone, and a lighter. I check the other one, a pack of camels.

So, I check my jacket,..... nothing... I check my car.... nothing..... now, I'm starting to freak out, I'm hesitent to tell my wife, because I don't feel like having my head bit off.

Then it comes to me.... no..... no..... NO!!!! It must have slipped out of my pocket in the theater. The theater was mostly empty... there's some hope...

I get in my car, and speed back to the theater, luckily it's only 10 minutes away. I park my car, and ran into the theater, past the ticket booth, and ticket tearer, they just stare and do nothing. I run up the stairs into the theater, and see the cleaners are cleaning. I run down to my seat......

there, on the floor, lies my envelope of cash..... two rows above me, the cleaners are there..... If I would have waited even another 5 minutes, it would have been thrown out, or taken by one of the cleaners....

I get in my car, see the numerious text messages.... wifey asking "where did you run off too".... not wanting to admit to my boneheadedness.... I write back "be back in 20"... I run to the florist, get her some flowers, and buy some champagne... It was either this, or admitt to almost lossing alot of money...

Get home, hand her the flowers, drink some Champagne... she asks "what's all this for anyways".... answer... "just cause"......

I now beleive in god......

You talk about money a lot. It doesn't make your penis bigger unless you spend it on surgery.

Umm, ironic that you mention $1400 for Christmas presents and in the same sentence mention not overspending.

Many people (most on this board I think) would think $1400 for presents IS overspending.

 

[Heffer Wolf]

and I took back $1400 in cash, since I have some christman presents to buy

Sounds like a ****** super hero. Like all he does is fly around and turn your water into wine. Actually, thats kind of awesome.

Not feeling the money you left in your pocket is the worst feeling imaginable man =[ you mustve been a nervous wreck on your way back to the theater.
