Ok..Im clearing my desk in my office..time to shred some stuff cause Im paranoid about identity theft etc. SO I am shredding the last three weeks of bills ( after payin them LOL) Insurance statements, Bank statements ( judas I get a forest worth of paper from these people..) so I am just dumping the crap in the shredder as fast as possible when I notice one envelope from my bank I had not opened. So I open it and look..its a blank page..crap this usually means that when I unfold the letter there is a one paragraph statement that I bounced a check and that as a service to me they deduct it from savings plus a healthy service fee..this happenes once in a while bummer but life is busy and complicated so I dont freak about it..

anyway..so as the paper is hanging over the shredder I open the letter and quickly pull it away from the hungry jaws of the shredder..my gosh ...its a check...for...OMG..$630!!!!!!! It seems I overpaid my escrow account on my mortgage...IM RICH!!! just like in Monopoly it happened to me...WOW!! :) I can hardly believe it..

More importantly, what knife have you bought for your good friend Danbo?
 
"Found money"...Good for you Ren!...Now toss that damn shredder in the garbage, since it almost ate your money!.:D.
 
My Wife was cleaning out some old boxes that her ex had laying around. This clown kept everything, paperwork wise. Probably had the first tax reciept he ever got. Anyway, the Wife was carrying boxes out to the trash, and I decided to stop her and ask her if she bothered to look in the boxes. She said she had not a single bit of interest in what was in the boxes; she didn't want the bad memories. So, I looked in one of them. I found an antique gold watch from the railroad. Didn't work, but was marked 18kt gold and was fully engraved. I took it to a pawn shop for a joke(anytime you go to a pawn shop for the purpose of selling, it's a joke), and the cheesewad tells me "It'll take $50 to fix it, and I wouldn't give you $50 for the watch".

I said see ya, and went to visit a friend of mine at her jewelry store. She took one look at the watch, grabbed me by the arm and said, very seriously, "listen to me. It'll cost maybe $100 to fix, but in working condtion, it could be worth a couple of thousand". :eek:

I went home with a new attitude, of the positive variety. Another of my friends came over that night, and he wanted the watch badly. I didn't feel like going to the trouble of fixing the watch, so I accepted his offer. He gave me $250 cash and a brand new metal detector worth about $700. :)

I love surprises like that.

Dude - don't trust it - it's a trap! It's a scam! The Nigerian bankers will own your account if you deposit it! Throw it back in the shredder now - or sign the back of it and send it to me..............
