Dear Tom....

One thing that really grinds my gears is those people who do those really lame, even juvenile, card or coin tricks. It is like they have never been able to accomplish anything in life any better than a stupid slight of hand trick.

The other day I was hanging out with a good buddy of mine Colin "Bob Hoskins" Heskin while he was working at our local prairie town gas station (which my roommates family owns). I walked into the store I noticed that the store owner (my roommate, Martials' dad) was talking to a fat bald man named Tom. Tom is the man who orders all the candy and chocolate bars for the store. For some reason he thought he would easily impress me with his petty, slight of hand, coin trick.

Tom showed me two coins in his hand and said "watch my hands now" and told me to guess how many coins were in his hand. I went on to say "two" which was followed by his response, "wrong! You obviously weren't watching, were ya kid." This went on probably three rounds before he gave up all the while I was contemplating telling him that I had a less than great week and didn't need his shitty trick to cheer me up.

Thanks, Tom
