MIke goes to the liquor store
Yesterday, we were cleaning out the storage building out back that we never finished cleaning out when we moved into the house earlier this summer. So there was this big, empty beer keg in there (Budweiser), which we probably won't be able to sell at the garage sale next weekend, so I called around, and guess what? I found out that I can take it to the liquor store and they'll give me $10 cash for it. Yay.
When I got out of my car, got the keg out the the back seat, and started across the parking lot, I noticed a warm sensation in the area of my backside. Then when I walked into the store, I smelled burning plastic. Yep. My ministerial credentials card in my wallet was starting to sizzle and melt. I needed to be quick. The guy at the counter immediately gave me $10 for the keg, but I didn't leave right away. I've never browsed around in a liquor store before. You wouldn't believe all the stuff they have to drink! I didn't realize there were that many products. And pricey - didn't realize it costs so much to drink.
I don't know how long I was in there when I noticed a little wisp of grey smoke curling out of my back pocket. I headed for the door. I just left the $10 in my front pocket, afraid that if I actually opened my wallet and inserted the "keg money" that my credentials card from the Assemblies of God might spontaneously combust. Didn't want that to happen. Those cards are expensive (you gotta pay your dues to get a new card every year). Later that day I examined my card, which was none the worse for wear. Mission accomplished, and I was able to take the fam out for frozen custard with the keg money. I love it when things work out.
