Just catching up on this riotous deal... Had meant to read the thread the minute I saw the title... Well done Curt..
I can relate a slightly similar story... While working in Kansas City (1984-86), I was driving back from Abilene or Salina or some other KS backwater on the section of the Kansas Turnpike that leads past Lawrence to KC... I was flirting with a doll for a long time on the highway, and when we got to the Lawrence tolls, I got in front of her. I gave the tolltaker my business card, paid the girl's toll, and told the collector to give the girl in the next car the card... Heh, heh...
The old element of surprise... Keep 'em guessing.. Keep 'em laughing.. Always a winner.
