Good morning crew,

One of the girls in the office said something today that I found amusing. When I asked her how her weekend was she said that it was more fun than she expected because she remembered an extra hundred bucks she had not accounted for.

Apparently she had a little 'stash' tucked away in her underwear drawer, or somewhere (she wouldn't tell me), and she forgot it was there until Friday night.

Maybe it's a chick thing, because I know where every single cent I earn is and goes. I even count the contents of the change jar I keep on my kitchen counter before I take it to the bank because I don't trust their change counters (and I have made them count it twice before because their total did not match mine).

Since Friday was payday I have made a detailed two week budget to account for my expenditures, and nowhere in it is there room for a secret stash. Even if I had the money I'm not sure who I would be stashing it away from. My wife?

Do a lot of people do this? Maybe I am missing out on a valuable money-saving or management tool. Write in and let me know!

Laugh it up,

Joe

I felt like a complete idiot on the bus this morning.

I used to work in an art supply store. We sold artists' canvas by the yard, and you could get it in either of two widths: 36 inches or 48 inches.

Customer: "Can you please cut some canvas for me?"

Me: "Certainly, what width?"

Customer: (confused and slightly annoyed) "Scissors?"
