The amazing powers of a soggy and lonely €20

AckwelFoley

Up i get out of the bed this morning at 7am after a brief encounter with sleep(only 2 hours) hungover and tired. Off to work i go.

Secretly i was hoping a freak tornado had struck temporarly relocating m place of employment to an as of that point unknown location, promption a swift return to the bed, as of course my luck would have it.. no tornado.

Opened up and went to greet one of my fellow employees in the yard. We exchanged the usual early morning banter, when i spotted a lost soul, a soul that was nearly extinct, yet even in that state was a glorious sight - there it lay, mere yards from my fellow worker, limp from the exposure to the elements yet clinging onto hope.

I ran to her aid, softly supporting her in a warm embrace "Fear not my sweety 20, for you are now safe with me"

I took my new found friend, and gently warmed her by the glow of a 2 bar heater... within minutes you could see her returning to her crispy 20 glory.

It was love at first sight, i at this point had fogotten my tiredness and sickly state, rejuvenated by the discovery of my new friend.

My new friend and i shall go for a drink tonight, where my new found friend shall buy me 4 pints, a mere token of gratitude for saving her life.

The end.

My Story is 12A rated. There was no sex, and nobody was killed.

I hope Disney will buy the Screenplay.

A welcome respite from the usually repetitive drudgery of after hours, nice post:D

I'm sure they will. How does €20 sound?

Finding money is fantastic.

Theres a cheap thrill as well when you see money in a public place and everybody is walking by it and only you see it.

I sure did.

It wasnt his, he had just arrived - this poor beauty had been out in the rain some time, it even had been driven over

On a side note, I had a horrible morning. I was caught short for the toilet on the way to work and had to go behind a car. It was a number 2. Looking for a leafy bush to clean myself with, I was unable to find one. With a certain amount of disgust, the only form of material to use was a €20 note I had photocopied the previous day as an early April Fools prank. I didnt want to use it, but I had to. I left it on the ground and then some nearly bald guy came over and took it

At what point is your work mate going to realise he has dropped his €20, about now I reckon when he proceeds to buy his lunch.......

Have you ever seen the gag on candid camera where they stick a £/$ 20 to the path and record people as they try in vain to pick it up.. looking at them spot it - and then try and not look too hard in case some one else notices them notice it.. priceless

Just had a weird thought.
Imagine that was the only way you could get your kicks. Walking around town scouring the ground for lost money, hoping against hope that no one else spots it before you.......then when you finally pick it up.....http://grandesesperanzas.blogcindario.com/ficheros/homer_drool.gif

How weird a fetish would that be?

I havent. I do see a lot of blatantly fake, soggy €20s left at the side of a path that I think are just there to catch people out.

Doesnt count. It was your 50... unless you were randomly taking clothes out of the dryer at the local launderette, but im pretty sure thats stealing.

What you experienced is still wonderful.

One gets paid, goes out gets drunkv-throws 50's around like they're receipts from tescos, 3 weeks later you are flat broke you find 50 cent in your wallet you thought was a 10 cent you can now add to your 3.50 and splash out on white pudding on your breakfast roll...

...then you do the washing.. and you find wrapped up in a receipt from the nightclub from 3 week ago a crisp 50...rarely happens though

Jackpot! fcuk breakfast rolls, im going to O Briens..

Local-womanizer

I remember I had feck all money for a proper feed at lunch time in school one day. So theres me making my way down the stairs for the canteen to buy packs of Frosties, 20 cent back then so they were, when just outside the canteen door lay a €5 note. That got me sausages,chips and a drink. Was never happier.

Truely simplier times.

Good job Snyper

The chap in work told me his brother found a wallet in Athlone a few years ago packed to the gills with Pound sterling, he brought it into the shop where it was outside and told them that if anyone lost it to call to his house. Apparently there was something like 800 quid in it.. the english chap arrived to the door, thanked him and rewarded him with.... a fiver.
