    Honesty

    Today we got to the yard about 15 till closing time so they were a little rushed. We only had 5 aluminum wheels and 15 or so large aluminum fire extinguishers, were just cashing in enough to buy a car tomorrow. At the pay window we got $380 and some change, happy was I, looking at my ticket on the way to the truck 180 for alum wheels????? For those that don't know wheels average right ar 15 apiece which woulda been 75, anyway turned out they didn't subtract the tare cart on the wheels, anyway ended up with a little over 270 and a clear conscience. The car we are getting is $200 plus we got some mad money, had to stay at the yard today till about 20 after just to figure out what went wrong. Hope everyone had a good ay

    Honesty is mostly a thing of the past. I read only yesterday something to the effect of "people are shocked at honesty, but hardly give notice to a lie" (i know I'm way off there for exactness, but something in that neighborhood), and I heard only today that the court expects witnesses to lie, that as the witness is swearing to the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, the court knows different! You about said it all there Cory, when you mentioned "conscience", most people no longer posses such virtues

    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

    My wife did a pickup last week. paid the guy too little for ram, so i wan in the area a few days later and paid him the $25 bucks i owed him.

    He was so surprised he didn't even want to get paid for the 3 towers he had.
