because it was 50 cents!

     When you see a great deal, it's hard to pass it up. True story... I came home from school one day, probably stoned, and there was a 50lb. box of bananas sitting on the counter. I asked my mother why there was a box of bananas on the counter, and she said, "Because it was 50 cants!" Like that would make perfect sense. I inquired further. "But, why?" "Because it was 50 cents!" I still was stunned by the fact that there were 50lbs. of bananas in my house. Had my mother finally lost it? "What the hell are we going to do with all these bananas?" Turned into... What am I going to do with all these bananas?? She brought home a shit ton of bananas, and did she do a damn thing with them??? No. I made banana cake, banana bread, banana cookies.... I mean, what else do you do with 50 fucking lbs. of bananas? What's the point of my story??
     Whose the one asking questions here? Point being, when you find a great deal, it's hard to pass it up. Take this typewriter for example. It was sitting on a table at a church garage sale. I'd been to this garage sale last year, and came home with a six dollar lamp. This year, two plates from the seventies, a cheese grater, a spatula, and a Made In China typewriter. Best 20 dollars I've spent in a long time. And a lot more useful than say, 50 lbs. of fucking bananas. I love you Mom.
