How much money would it take?

I have access to latex gloves at my job, so it's a moot point. I suppose I'd wait till it got upwards of $10...as long as there's soap, too.

In New York City we used to take a zippo and heat up a quarter until it was red hot, and then toss it to the winos

I remember when I was a student at Emmet Belknap in Lockport I glued a quarter to the floor. We had this lunch lady that would pick up all the change on the floor and she was a mean old bat. To make a long story short she had the custodian come out and scrape it off the floor and then she put it in her pocket. From the story I heard she is using all that change to tour the country with Bon Jovi now that she is retired. LOL!

You are one sick puppy Anonymus!

JS how long did it take before she went and got the janitor? That had to be good.

Once at a party we glued a $20 bill to the inside of the toilet tank, then refilled it, using that blue-dye cleaner. One by one, as people went in & out of the bathroom, they started walking around with one hand in their pockets the rest of the night!

How did they know there was a $20 inside the tank?

Very good question.

At a bar I worked at in the early nineties, people used to always roll quarters across the floor at the end of a night when "that Jonesie band played". The whole reason was to watch a certain Middleport Resident chase them across the floor. Alot of you probably know who I'm talking about. Back then, when everyone's drunk and having fun, it was kinda funny. But now that I know him better (most likely autistic), it's kinda sad.

WE PULLED A GREAT MONEY PRANK AT A NASCAR RACE DOWN IN DAYTONA. WE PLACED A FIVE DOLLAR BILL HALF WAY OUT OF A OLD RAGGED WALLET AND HOOKED IT TO A FISHING LINE AND POLE, AND WHEN PEOPLE WALKED BY MANY TIMES THAY WOULD TAKE THE BAIT AND I'D PULL THE WALLET AND THAY WOULD FOLLOW WHAT A BLAST.

BUT HOW MUCH WOULD IT TAKE BEFORE I MAKE THE PLUNG? WELL $20.00 BILL

Was this the one who walks 31 every day?

I like to call up the 800 number for TV preachers and make a pledge of $1000, and then act like the connection is breaking up before completing the call.

Yes shughes, he is the one who walks everyday. Luckily there are those of us that he knows that pick him up whenever we see him. He was told a long time ago by the cops that he's not allowed to "thumb" for a ride. That's why he just turns and looks to see if he knows you. And believe me, he knows all of our cars! I just worry that someday he'll get hit.

If you've ever spoken to him, you'll realize that he definitely has areas that he knows alot about. Hitler and Manson fascinate him and he knows all the facts. He also is a math whiz and can tell you what day of the week it was for any date in history. He also NEVER forgets people's anniversaries.

People like this are called "idiot savants".

President Bush is also an "idiot savant", only light on the "savant".

He walked from his house to lockport and back every day, when I was a kid. The guy is increadable, our parents always wanted us to stay away from him, but we never did. He still does that?

He is quite harmless. He just has a very hard time communicating, and sometimes it seems like he's scared of people. Thank god his parents had the forethought to set up a trust and found people to look after him before they died. He doesn't need to pick up the cans that he collects to survive. He just likes to!

No this guy has a heart of gold, would never think to harm anyone. He also has high level math skills. He grew up just east of the Niagara/Oreans county line. About a half mile east of the FMC plant. See KS now you have jogged my memory. One more piece to the puzzle.

He comes to all my events I do. And he has been coming to my Halloween Party every year for about 7 years...he's a real nice guy. A lot of people just don't give him a chance. And Scott, I wish W hanging at my house I'm sure we could have some good conversation. LOL
