Let's Make a Deal!

Let's take a trip down Memory Lane to 1970s Game Show Lane, just off Mulberry Road. It isn't a street most people are familiar with. Next to Tick-Tack-Dough and Match Game is Let's Make A Deal. Dressed in a plaid blazer, Monty Hall would select an audience member (dressed in halloween-like costume) from the crowd and offer them a chance to win a prize behind a series of doors. Some people won cars and others won catfood.


At the end of the show Monty would pay the audience for random items they had in their possession. For instance, he might offer $500 to the first person that provided him with a rubber band or $100 for every paper clip that you have. The items are always random and strange.

I tend to keep just the essentials in my purse - chapstick, sunglasses, gum and wallet, all of which would not be too beneficial on Let's Make a Deal. But this last week I have been carrying around a hammer and two golf balls** in my purse. It is a lot to lug around. If only Monty were back in action! I am sure I would rake in the dough for such rare possessions!

Most girls I come across have just the essentials in their purses, but every once in awhile someone will shock me and pull out a pair of dirty socks or a doll head. Here is to keeping Monty Hall guessing!


**I use the hammer and golf balls for physical therapy for my hand. Besides, who knows when I will suddenly need to hammer something or play a round of golf.
