Once upon a time in Mathews Virginia a BEAUTIFUL woman was having a yard sale. She got up early, 7a.m., and started hauling everything outside. She had furniture, clothes, baby stuff, exercise equipment (that she had to have because it was the one and only thing that would make her skinny.... then she used it for a month and never thought about it again) She have home decor, Christmas decor, sponge bob decor....
Now its all displayed nicely in her front yard and the "YARD SALE" signs are posted at the end of the drive way and she is ready for that first big sale!
A truck pulls up. "Yes!" she thinks to herself, here they come. The man gets out and starts digging through her husband's scrap pile. "Crap" I say to myself. Thats not for sale, its junk. He asks "how much for this broken trailer" .. uh, Derek? she question's to her husband. "$15 bucks" Derek tells the man. She think to herself "what about all my beautiful treasures? He wants junk?" The man and Derek dig the trailer out of the scrap pile and the man hands him a $20.00 bill. "Keep the change" he says. The man leaves.
"Give me that money" She snaps at Derek. "Its my scrap" he says. "Its my sale" she replies.
They split it fifty fifty. Speaking of fifty.. she has made fifty cents since then:(
The scrap king wins again... damn him!
(p.s. I find yard sales boring so I write stories!... if this sale doesn't pick up I may publish a novel by the end of the day!
