Pizza Menu And The Amazing Sacrificial Ten Dollar Bill...

Yeah so...
A few weeks ago I bought a large pizza from a place that we always go to but I never ever have the number for...
So everytime I order I have to wait ten minutes which actually seems like an awkward twenty...
When I paid she gave me back a ten and I fold it into my back pocket and forget about it...
But this last time I wanted the phone number so I picked up their paper menu... which was all red...
dum dum dum...
And I fold it into my back pocket and forget about it...

Until... I do my laundry... yadda yadda yadda... when I pull out the clothes from the dryer...
I first see this crinkled up red paper mess and I think 'ruuh rowh'... everything is gonna to be pink...
Surprisingly... not one single article was any kinda shade of red or pink... not even one...
I thought that was really weird...

//Fast Forward//
I go into the city to see Lady K for her bithday and I parked my car into an underground parking garage and got a red ticket stub...
//Enters ironical//...
Yadda yadda yadda... I meet her and she asks where I parked and I duh forgot where... so I pull out the ticket and with it came the amazing sacrifical ten dollar bill...

We were all shocked initially... it looked like the ticket had totally changed it to red...
But like in a series of fantastic flashbacks, I remembered what had happened...
So I retold the pizza/laundry story to everyone... yadda yadda yadda...

//Current day//
Its been weeks and I still carry him around... still... in my wallet... never to be used... not thru any vending machine and not at any 7'ves and certainly not at last call... unwanted... imprisoned... in a billfold... forever...

The more I think about it... wow... this amazing sacrificial ten dollar bill took the brunt of the dye and save a whole load of laundry by sacrificing himself... in a way... dying as well... so sad... so brave... and now... disfigured... and unable to do his duty... or even fulfill his purpose....

And so... he is hereby immortalized within the open vastness of the great blogshere...

We commit this bill to the fold... with a watery eye... and a glad heart.

In a word... nosacrificeiseversmall...
