Woo-Hoo 20 Bucks!!!

I started working for Pacific Telephone Company in San Francisco when I was 17 years old. I made $70 a week and got paid every other week. Well, one payday, after I got home, I borrowed Daddy's car and Mike and I went to the bank. I parked on the street in front of the bank, so I could look at myself behind the wheel of the car in the plate glass window and sent Mike in with my check to cash it. He came out and handed me the cash. I counted it and there was $20 too much. When I told Mike they gave him $20 too much, he told me he knew and tried to tell the teller. Well, I sent him back in, I knew she had mis-counted. In a few minutes Mike came back with the cash - I counted it again and again there was $20 too much. He said when he told the lady, she got a little exasperated with him - he was only about 13 years old - and told him she did NOT mis-count. So, I gave him $10 and I kept the other $10! We figured we tried and we were 2 happy kids!!!! Ten bucks back then was a lot of money - that would have been about 1964!!
