Hats Off
I was out with my girlfriend at a late night movie when I spot another older couple walking. Now, I have to admit now, the guy I saw had on a long coat, cane, sunglasses at night, and one amazing bowler-type hat.
Now the wind was blowing that night, and all of a sudden, I watch this guy’s hat fly off out into the street. He didn’t seem to mind and just kept on walking. I assume so he wouldn’t look silly chasing his hat down the road.
I, on the other hand, have no shame and begin chasing the hat just for fun as well as just trying to be helpful.
I bring the hat back to the guy and he says, “Thank, brother” to which I reply, “No problem, man. I just like chasing stuff.” He goes in for a hand shake, and I feel something in his hand.
Once we get in the car I turn to her and say, “That guy just gave me this.” I unfold a crisp $100 bill and proceed to buy liquor for everyone that night. Easiest $100 I’ve ever made. Permalink
