Just thought I'd share an experience that happened to me about a month ago.



I know what it's like to be rich now!



I was driving through downtown Cottage Grove Oregon minding my own business

with the top down when I had to stop for a red light.  As I was sitting there

looking really good in my highly polished, exquisitely detailed Classic Red

Miata Roadster, I heard a guy shout HEY!  from off to my right side.  I

turned to see a bum walking towards my car.  I felt very vulnerable but I

didn't want to run the red light to get away from him, so I stayed put.  He

says to me "you got a dollar I can borrow?"  (I'm thinking to myself 'yea

right,,, borrow?').  I responded back saying "I don't have a dollar" and

honestly, I didn't think I did since I'm used to not having any money in my

wallet!  But as it turns out, I actually did have some money in my wallet

that day.  I guess I lied, but I don't consider it a lie since when I said it

I had forgotten that I had money that day!  Anyway, his response back to me

was.  "WELL I SURE FEEL SORRY FOR YOUR RICH A__!"  And then he walked off

cursing at me and carrying on.  The light turned green and I was OUTA THERE!



So now I know what it's like to be rich!  I'm not so sure I liked it.
