A Sydney Dilemma. What would you do?
August 25th 2006 00:01
Scenario #1
There you are on the train listening looking decidedly cool as you sigh effortlessly while looking out the window, hoping someone notices you cinematic appeal. The train pulls into Central station and you see two $50 notes sitting on the platform. You reach a quivering hand towards the riches but the window window is in the way... on the ONE day you didn't bring your laser-etch hacksaw.
The rent was due last week and you've tired of waiting til 7pm when you can get 3 sushi rolls for $4 to eat a decent meal. You're in desperate need of money. You claw at the glass, but alas, it's not that kind of glass that disintegrates back into sand when you touch it. The station guard blows the whistle... what do you do?
Scenario #2
You've just had 5 x 1hour maths lectures in a row and those 12 hours have made you hungry... which may have affected your maths ability. You approach the vending machine and notice a peculiar sight.
Yes, some poor soul has paid extra for the service of not having to talk to cashiers, only to have their food not come out.
So if you buy these Cheese and Bacon Balls, you'll get two for the price of one. You hear the sound of a some commerce student in the distance sobbing "waahhhhh i wanted mah cheese and bacon balls". You're extremely hungry and you had already the instinct to by some tic-tacs the day before to cover the smell of potential bad breath.
So, what would you do?

I'd get the two $50. Then I'll blow most of the cash on magazines/candy/chips/drinks while waiting 234823895 minutes for my next train to come.
#2
Get something else. Cheetos are gross.

Scenario 2 - Those cheese b balls are disgusting but i'd still buy them and eat them both in front of the loser other student. Or maybe i'd just open the packet and offer it to the other person but then throw terpentine on in and laugh like homer simpson where he gets on the floor and uses his legs to rotate while going "WOOP woop woop woop woop"
Yeah that's what i'd do

I'd take the cheese balls out of principle!
TomC, can you send me a message with your email address please?

As for no 2.... I dunno. They say there's no such thing as a free lunch and they're right. A packet of cheese and bacon balls isn't lunch - it ain't even food. I'd take them though - and vendre myself something decent. Go down to the water's edge and see if the birds like cheese and bacon balls. Or whether they float. Or throw them at people, should all else fail.
