With a penny at the register for Bronco Express, and a nickel by the tables outside, I was in severe need of a quarter. A Penny Angel singsong wasn’t getting anywhere, so I upped it to an even higher power: "Quarter Angels, Quarter Angels, don’t be so fickle! A quarter right now would hit for the cycle." (fycle/cycle, fickle/sickle? Good meter, lousy rhyme.) I even checked the magic lab in 17 and only got a washer. I was charging back to my office after a repair mission. Needed to get out and leaving on time, tried the vending machines one more time; the farthest machine had the requested quarter! :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
