Chicago Show - A Nice Story

[kcghost]

I was out in the tent sitting in one of the soft chairs. Opposite me were two more soft chairs. One of the chairs was occupied and the other wasn't. After a bit this really, really big guy came up to the empty chair and pulled it back. He kind of looked at the space where the chair was. The he removed the seat cushion and began feeling down in the crevices of the chair. Apparently this was to no avail as he then moved to the other chair and aske dthe guy sitting in it if he could look in the chair he was sitting in. The second guy asks what he is looking for and the guy says "a gold Dunhill" lighter.
The second says well I found and I have it right here in my bag. He leans down, opens his bag, pulls out a lighter and asks him "is this it?" The relief on the first guys face was absolutely palpable. He then tried to give the guy $50 for finding it but the guy wouldn't take it.
It is always nice to see human nature at its best.

bigvan left his famous beach chair pipe rest on the table Thursday evening. I tried to sell it back to him the next day. :lol:

Now that I think about it; I should have held it for ransom and mailed him ransom notes. That would have been fun. :lol:
