Gift Card Hat Trick

I love finding money in pockets. Even though I know the money was once mine and simply still is, it's one of the greatest feelings to stick a hand in an old jacket and find a few bucks. In fact, I've been known to stash a few bills in my winter coat at the end of the season in the hopes I'll forget about them and "re-discover" the money the following fall. It never works but a guy can dream, can't he?

Well, imagine my infinite pleasure when I put my hand into the inside pocket of my suit jacket last weekend to find not one, but THREE gift cards. It was the hat trick of pocket treasure. Incidentally, did you know the origins of "hat trick" come from the sport of cricket? Apparently, a bowler was entitled to a free hat if he hit three wickets in three bowls. I have no idea what that means, but there you have it. Don't say you never learn anything new here at Eric Luper's Random Musings.

Anyhow, how's this for an excellent array of found gift cards:

NECESSARY....$87.14


NECESSARIER....$17.14


NECESSARIEST....$44.80


The gods are smiling down upon me. And I am so flush!
