I remember my dad sellin a dragster. He put 16 grand in a mason jar and hid it in the ashes of his garage woodstove so ma wouldnt find it.
That fall there was a cold night. You havent guessed it all. He came to work the next day with the crap burned outa his hands. Remembered right on time, good thing there was a lack of oxygen in that jar. That x-mas my bonus was in charred bills! [just 10 of the 160]
My doctor gave me six months to live, but when I couldn't pay the bill he gave me six months more.
