Please keep what you are owed plus 20% of the additional monies. Forward the rest to my sister in cash. Unfortunately, due to a misunderstanding resulting from her identity being stolen, she is unable to cash a check or money order. -- Tony Cooper - Orlando, Florida

I once drove out to Cape Cod and returned on a summer Sunday afternoon. The only positive thing I can say about that trip was that I could leave my car in traffic, leave the car to use the restroom in some local business, and return to my car without the driver behind me getting concerned because my car hadn't moved. -- Tony Cooper - Orlando, Florida

And, I am that sister, so expect an e-mail with my cousin's address contained therein. Mailing cash to that address will reach me promptly, and for each day prior to Jan. 31st, deduct 2%. My cousin is deaf, dumb and blind (though a mean 'ball player) so the transaction will remain in strict confidence. -- John S McWilliams (the S stands for sister- or nothing) |
