I still don’t understand why this stuff happens to Red and I. It’s so crazy, but oh well, it gives us something to write about and entertain your bored behinds.
So, Red was cruising down the street, and he sees a BlackBerry Curve case on the side of the road. (No, he doesn’t normally stop to pick up trash on the side of the road, but I have a BlackBerry Curve so he noticed it right away.)
Anyways, if you read this blog enough, you know that Red and I have a knack for helping people. We always seem to be at the right time and the right place. This was no difference – he nabbed this phone and drove home. Immediately after getting home, he searched through the contacts to find someone to call so that we could give the phone back.
He called the listing for, “Mom”, and spoke to an older woman who was desperate to get the phone back.
Well, I came home from work, and of course, I couldn’t give this phone back without first going through it and looking for something interesting to put on the website. WE FOUND IT, and it was better than we could imagine!
In the inbox for emails, there was nothing except for this (names changed to protect the not-so-innocent):

I didn’t change the prostitute’s name. I thought she might want some advertising 
Did you notice the three dollar signs in her reply? Yes, she absolutely wants money, Mr. Joe, you 54-year-old scary man!
Wow… Only in Citrus County.
