Fish Herder
Well there was this 20 year old who was sitting in his apartment on his computer one boring Sunday afternoon, chatting on TFF of course. He just so happened to glance across the street and see his neighbors putting a table out for the trash. He didn't think anything of it.
Three hours go by, and a nasty storm passes through. After it cleared, this 20 year old notices someone is actually going to take the ugly table. But, wait, this table doesn't look much like an ordinary table...it has a cloth draped over the top of it. The person who wants it lifts the cover and smiles. He immediatly walks up to the house and knocks on the door...the 20 year old sits calmly, keys in hand, putting flip-flops on, ready to pounce, hoping that nobody answers the door and the people leave without the table...why?
Because after glancing at this table off and on for over 3 hours, it never occurred to him that it was actually a 29gallon fish tank and stand for free. How stupid can you be?!
The lesson to be learned is three-fold:
1) If it doesn't look like a table, it is probably a fish tank.
2) Even though the 20 year old (obviously me) knows he doesn't need a fish tank, a free tank and stand could always come in handy.
3) What is junk to everyone else is a treasure to poor college students like me!
Sorry all, you may not think it is a sad story, but it was for me
