So today we went out and got our christmastree. I was kind of sweating how to pay for it, but figure I could afford right around $70 if I had to, but would prefer much less. We got to the liitle lot down the road from us, and started looking around and found a beautiful tree, with out a tag. So we called over the owner to find out the price.
He got out the stick and marked it off as 7' so about $65. But.. if I could answer some star trek questions he would knock it down to $50. Well he through the first question and I drew a blank, as well as the second and third questions. (I USED to know my Star Trek trivia. I felt like an idiot) Finaly he thought for a second and said. "Tell you what, you go get me a small bottle of burbon and it's yours."

(I actually didn't pause that long. I said "DONE!")
So we ran to te liquor store. Found a bottole of Evan Williams on sale (And not a "Small" one either) , and traded it for a '7 Christmas Tree.
That's right. I tradded boose for a tree. Every now and then, the universe smiles on me.
