Money Clip
Now I'm not shallow and I may still be coming down from the bitter sting of my pre-emptive dumping, but I saw something and needed to comment.
I was out and about, as is my usual forte on a Saturday afternoon. I went to the movies, saw Keeping Up With the Steins (GREAT movie...if I had a son on the verge of his bar mitzvah, then I woulda got something more out of it than my pure enjoyment of Jeremy Piven's antics), got some Johnny Rocket's (#12 w/onion rings), and headed home. Before my complex, I pass a QT (QuikTrip, home of the 59cent 32 oz. fountain drink) and a BLockbuster. Hit with a BRILLIANT idea, I stop to get a soda and rent a video. Not just ANY video, V for Vendetta, which I missed in the theater. V for Vendetta's not coming out til October, so imagine what an idiot I felt like. But I digress, on to the point.
As I was leaving QT, a young man held the door for me and I noticed he was holding money in his hand. Now fellas, you should know this about women: even a half-second of perusal gives us all the ammunition we need to either a) pick you apart, or b) decide to give you our number. Everything from eyes to teeth to grooming to clothes to shoes, we know all we need to know while you're still ogling our boobies. It's one of our great skills (and one of my personal favorites). So anyway, I was doing my half-second perusal when I came across the money. I'd already discounted him for his teeth which were yellow from smoking, so I went into mockery mode. I noted that though he had money, it was a 5 and a couple of singles. I was disregarding him completely when I noticed he had a money clip. That's right, readers, he had a MONEY CLIP to house 7 DOLLARS.
No I revert back to the first line of this blog where I felt it necessary to point out that I am not shallow in any way, and I mean that. But still, I have to admit, I had to RUN to my car before asking out loud, "Aren't money clips for people with a lot of money?" and falling into a convulsive fit of laughter. Who says Saturdays are lonelyville? I love Saturdays...even more so, I've found a new appreciation for money clips!
