Subject: RE: BS: Things You'll Never Hear the Last Of
Well, I feel almost normal now! Sinsull, isn't it funny how there are so many exceptions to the rule? Lost my wallet twice. Once was when I took a trip in college and left it in a New York City liquor store. The guy who'd been behind the counter chased me a couple of blocks to return it. Another time, I was in high school and had just sold a horse. Not a fancy horse, just a plain old $225 horse. The money was in the wallet. Another kid found it and gave it back intact. I tried to give her some money, but she refused. Once, somebody mailed me my driver's license after I'd lost it on a trip. There was no return address on the letter, but a little hand-written note saying "I found this on ____ St, and thought you'd want to get it back." I've had tough looking kids of various races run after me to give me the $5 that fell out of my pocket. I suspect there are a lot more honest people out there than we assume.
