Unexpected Good FortuneTravelling through Seattle a good 15 years ago, I remembered an old friend I used to blow up Action Men with. We were bored, nothing to lose , so I looked him up in the phonebook. He was the only one of that name in there. "Come and stay," goes he.
Me and my mates were living in a car at that point so a bed was a novelty. After searching for a while, we rock up to a very posh mansion on Puget Sound with its own Helipad. "Come flying," goes he.
Has your luck held out recently?

buy me a bed, nutter!when i first moved to toronto i was not quite flush with cash, mostly due to the fact that i'd taken the summer off work before the move. i needed a new bed and had ridden my bike to the local mattress store to look for a cheapie, and while i was locking up my bike, a man appeared in front of me, handed me a $100.00 bill and said "excuse me, can i give you something?" i thanked him, sure it was just a fake with an ad on the back, but it was real. looking down the street, i saw him approaching lots of people, some of whom actually refused his offer.
i went in to the mattress store, found a great set (which happened to be on sale, hurrah), and paid with the hundred (and some of my cash). next day in the news was the story of the man walking up the street handing out money, turned out he was a little nutty and very wealthy.
