Make sure you're sitting down while you read what happened to me today. I dropped my wife off for a dental appointment, and since I had an hour to kill, I drove around looking something to do. I found myself passing a Good Will thrift shop, so I parked, went in, and started browsing around. I noticed a cardboard carton about the size of a shoebox marked "Skate Keys, 15 cents" and so I started rummaging through a couple of hundred key-like objects of all kinds, when suddenly I found myself holding what appeared to be a Luger loading tool in outstanding condition! My heart pounding, I kept swishing my hand around and came up with another one, then another, then another. By the time I had dumped the box onto the floor and sorted out all the pieces, I found myself holding seventy-three beautiful tools, many of them with Waffenampt and imperial markings! My hands shaking, I presented them to the clerk and, since they were selling for 15 cents apiece, my bill came to only $8.76, since, and get this, I was entitled to a 20% senior citizen discount! I am now at home carefully cataloging and bagging each tool. So what do you think of that stroke of luck? Where the heck could they have come from?
