A spoon full of Sugar and a pinch o’ Pepper

Driving out Saturday morning we spotted this old trunk on someone’s driveway with the usual lamp shades and boxes o’ clothes. We stopped and asked for a price and they replied, “It’s a Vaudeville Trunk.” And indeed, inside were actual newspaper clippings of performances at various venues glued onto the trunk with a seal of authenticity.

Oh man, they know what they have. They gotta want a couple hundred for this thing, I thought to myself as I began to already dismiss the trunk. None of the other items looked appealing and I started to say “Come on kids, lets go.”

“Wait, you don’t want the trunk?”

“You didn’t tell me how much it was,” replied the clever Horchata Bones.

“Ten Dollars.”

“Sold.”
