List three things you'd buy with your last $20. One practical, one frivolous and one of your choosing.
That Columbo-style raincoat at the Salvation Army -- $10 (practical AND stylish)
a can of heat-and-eat chili -- $2.50 at Meijer (practical AND tasty)
extra-dark sunglasses -- $5 from the Salvation Army, tops
First I would put on the coat. It always pays to dress like Columbo.
Next, I would eat the chili and wash the can real good. I would cut the label and get out a Sharpie and celotape and and write "Blind - Please Help" on the white side of the label.
Seeing as I'm almost blind without my glasses, I could take them off, tuck them into a pocket *inside* my Columbo coat and very convincingly pan-handle enough money to go visit my friends in Chicago.
