Ben and Elaine's thoughts on the bus


"Whew, dodged that bullet," thought Elaine as the bus pulled away from the bus stop.  "Carl was handsome but I'm glad I didn't go down the aisle with a frat boy lawyer like mom.  It was hilarious with everyone cursing and Ben pulling us out of there.  Especially when Ben jammed the cross in the door."

"That was great," thought Ben.  "I can't believe I body-checked Carl like that.  It was fun swinging the cross about like Excalibur.  Funny trapping everyone in the church with a cross.  Good thing I had change for the bus."

"I can't wait to get out of this damn dress, it's too small," thought Elaine, "I didn't want to get married but my parents rushed us down here.  I want to go back to Berkeley and finish the semester.  'Not gonna drop out like mom.  But dang, I have an exam Monday and I didn't bring my books or notes.  Maybe Ben can drive us back.  Wait, where is his convertible?"

"Where the hell is this bus going?" wondered Ben, "I suppose we should get off and come back to get my car.  But damn, gotta find a gas station that will loan a can of gas.  How much cash do I have?"

"In a way, I'm glad I won't have to have sex with Carl anymore," mused Elaine to herself.  "I hated having sex in his Ford.  And the foreplay was usually just 'Wanna do it?'  How will sex with Ben be?  My roommate told me her boyfriend would play with her clitoris with his tongue and she said it was amazing.  I wonder if Ben will.  Holy Shit!  I could ask my mom!"

"Elaine's sorta hot.  I'm looking forward to having sex with her," Ben thought, "Mrs. Robinson was right, I was a virgin before the affair.  It'll be fun to have sex with someone my age.  I wonder if she's as good at blow jobs as her mother?  Do mothers teach their daughters that?"

"We haven't said a word since we got on the bus," thought Elaine, "but what do you say after you run out of a wedding and catch a city bus?"  She looked over at Ben who was about to say something.  "Maybe he'll say he's wanted to spend his life with me since we were kids."

"Elaine, we need to get off the bus and find a gas station to get some gas for my car.  I ran out of gas about half a mile from the church."

"Ok," said Elaine while she thought, "Well, that was really romantic.  But I gotta ask him something that's been bugging me for a while."

"Ben, do you sometimes hear Simon and Garfunkel songs in your head?"

"Oh, God, all the time!" said Ben.

Coda, back at the church.

"Dammit, Elaine left with that bastard Ben," fumed Mrs. Robinson.  "He's just as boring as his parents.  Carl is much more handsome than him or my ex-husband.  She'd never get bored like I did if she had a real man like him."

Carl stood thinking,  "I hate to admit it, but I'm glad I didn't have to marry Elaine, even though we would make a good team.  To be honest, she was sorta dull.   Her mom is pretty hot for her age, the gay divorcee, as the guys in the house would say.  I wonder if she'd like to fool around with a young guy like me?"

The Non-Profit, the Tanning Booth, and the Mercedes-Benz.

No, this is not an attempt to parody C.S. Lewis by drawing together three disparate items into an allegorical children's story about sacrifice.  I work for non-profits, the first of the items above, and like all people and organizations, non-profits have to file a tax return.  For a 501(c)(3), the tax return is the IRS Form 990, in which the organization reports its income, expenses, and activities for the year.  Our auditor draws up our Form 990 as part of the annual audit. I review the form to make certain all of our answers make sense, the numbers are reported correctly, and that all the board members' names are spelled correctly.  This year, I noticed an interesting question: Tanning Booths?  Non-profits?  A 501(c)(3) is tax-exempt because it carries out worthwhile artistic, educational, or social programs.  I know there are a lot of strange things going on in creating the tax code.  But how do tanning booths mix with most non-profits?  Can you see a tanning boot

Flipping toy soldiers on ebay--a good haul

Image
Today people buy and then resell houses, cars, and other items, a process commonly called flipping.  Some of us "flip" toys, including my former student and master flipper Will .  He hits garage sales and estate sales and sells his finds on his own website .   I just cruise ebay while watching tv.  I just had a great flip of toys I found on ebay.  I will pay homage to the master toy-flipper with this post. Two weeks ago I found a bunch of toy soldiers and vehicles for 18.88 including shipping.  It was described by the seller as "Large Lot of Old Junk Military Men Landscape & Vehicle Toys Small and Bigger sizes"   and the photograph shows a bunch of soldiers of different sizes, globs of plastic, and pile of plastic pieces.   Like a prospector in the Klondike, I saw gold in that pile.   I was happy it was Buy it Now on ebay so I didn't have to bid against other prospectors.  I've sold some of it in separate lots.   Let's see what sold. In the sixties a

Old Dinky toy tank

Image
A couple months ago, I bought a toy that's over 70 years old on ebay.  It's a metal toy model of a tank the British army used between the two world wars.  The raised lettering on the bottom reads "Dinky Toys  Made in Britain."  The turret turns around and the tracks made of small chains move, so that you can move the tank on the ground or a table. It definitely looks like something from a different time.  The body of the vehicle has lots of rivets and rigid shapes that recalls the appearance of a steamship.  Which would make sense as the tank was thought of as a land battleship, which would stand at the edge of a battlefield and engage enemy  land battleships while smaller tanks raced around the battlefield.  Its turret resembles that of a battleship, while two guns extending from the sides of the chassis that resemble the secondary guns of a battleship for defending against smaller ships.  It was a familiar vision to Britain after decades as a supreme sea power,
