Down here at the pawn shop - Page 83

No. The actual alternatives are to take it home and anguish about it, or take it to the next shop where it will fetch a similar number and then be sold. Neither of which serves the current shop!

So what the pawn shop has done is to communicate to you that it's worthless so that you will quickly sell it to them cheaply and without argument.

I'd take the silver home, melt it down and pour it into molds to cast bullets with which to shoot werewolves; but, that's me.

Could the jeweler not repair the broken bits or make something new out of them?

I didn't ask, but I think that jeweller was too high-end to do that sort of repair or, indeed, to sell the repaired items for their own profit. And I wasn't that interested in the bits to have them repaired for me.

Probably. For a price.

Most banks here would consider withdrawing your last cent to be equivalent to closing the account. They won't just hold an empty account open indefinitely.

Steve sent this along - apparently someone on the street loved the shop's front window so much they gave it a big ol kiss.

He reports "We did have a dead sexy Bosch hammer drill in the window."

I wonder if it was at bend over height.

Purple haze all in my brain
Lately things don't seem the same
Actin' funny but I'll screw this whore
Bend over baby and kiss the door

Maybe that's how the prostitutes mark their territory.

In Philadelphia, 10 people have been shot in the last 24 hours, but only one was within three blocks of the shop.

When it's hot people get all shooty.

Exactly! Which is why I was surprised when you reported that shooting right next to the pawn shop on like the coldest day of the winter. Just imagine how cold that gun handle was. Brr.

Well sure, people slow down when it's hot. Then someone comes along and tells them to get the lead out. So they do.

So, happiness is *not* a warm gun?

I feel... betrayed.
