Eris Buys Me Popcorn
So, we're out
doing stuff and we finally get to go see Slingblade. As we're standing in line,
I look through my wallet and see that I'm only going to have a couple of bucks
left over after I buy the tickets. "Damn!" I say. "I won't be able to get
popcorn."
"You just ate - you shouldn't need popcorn" says
Lisa.
That's not really the point, though. One of the reasons seeing a
movie in a theatre is better than seeing it at your house is that you get to
have overpriced popcorn.
Anyway, a few moments later I look down and see
a dollar bill. I quickly pick it up, doing the good-neighborly act of glancing
around to see if I can find anyone who looks as if they are in the process of
fumbling with some money & may have just dropped it. I find no one, so
SCORE! I get my popcorn!
I tell Lisa "Hey look! Eris bought me popcorn!"
She says "Eris doesn't exist." I say "Oh yeah? Well, all I know is that I'm
getting me some corn."
Later, while Lisa is in the restroom, I'm buying
my popcorn. There, I find another dollar on the floor. A few feet away, I find
two more. Eris completely paid for the popcorn and heavily subsidized my Dr
Pepper as well.
Slingblade was pretty good, but not as good as I was
expecting.
