So on Monday I went to Maverik to get my favorite beverage on ice. I had only had about 3 1/2 hours of sleep that night/morning and needed to stay awake a bit longer before I gave in to sleep for the night. So I approached the clerk at the counter and peeled my fingers off of my diet Pepsi to find my money to pay for my drink. The total popped up to $1.16 and I gave the guy $1.21. This is when it got interesting.
Mr. Maverik Sales Guy - "So would you like to donate your nickle to Hades?"
Me thinking - "Did I hear him correct? Isn't Hades the Greek God of the underworld?"
Me talking - "You mean Haiti?"
Mr. Maverik Sales Guy - "No, Hades."
Me thinking - "I know I'm tired, but really, that is the the Greek God of the underworld."
Mr. Maverik Sales Guy - "You know the place that had those earthquakes."
Me thinking - "I don't doubt that there might be earthquakes where Hades is."
Mr. Maverik Sales Guy - "So about your nickle, do you want to donate it?"
I couldn't keep a straight face at this point and gave a quick nod to add my donation to the "Hades" donations. So either I added another donation to Haiti or I just gave a down payment to the undertaker of my soul. Either way, someone wins.
So yesterday when I was asked the same question by the same clerk, about my nickle I just shook my head yes and left chuckling. I'm up to 10 cents in the positive to Hades.

you kill me!! :-) I had woke up having a crappy morning and all I had to do was read your blog...thanks buddy!! ps. It's going to take a lot more than 10 cents to secure your spot down below...believe me...I've been paying for years and I'm still not guaranteed anything. :-)
That is so freakin awesome!! Its funny that the clerk didn' get a clue and thought he was totally right! And I love that you tried to correct him too! Go Carebear!
