Sometimes, I just don’t know what gets inside of people’s heads. I see things that go on around me and just can’t help but saying, “What were they thinking?”

I have had a few instances of that lately. The first came when I went to see R.E.M. in concert. I’m not a huge collector of ticket stubs, but I do like to hang on to them so I can reminisce once in a while.

So after I got inside the venue, I started looking at my stub. A lot of times, the back gets you a chance to get something free or discounted, and I wanted to see what I could get for free this time. The result shocked me.

My ticket stub gave me the opportunity to get $200 on a new Volvo. Wow, just what I needed.
