Yesterday while running an errand I passed a church yard sale. There was a small child dressed as a chicken waving a 50% off sign. I decided to stop in on my way back. On my way home I noticed the chicken was waving a different sign that said "FREE". I asked why everything was free and the response was that the sale was wrapping up and no one was buying, so everything was going to Goodwill at 4pm. I also learned that the youth of the church were raising funds for a trip to New Orleans. I picked out a Hot Wheels stunt track (I'm still a kid at heart, honestly), and two fairly sturdy upholstered chairs and made a small donation to the church. It was well under the asking price for the items I'd selected, but well over what they expected.
I'll take car loads of free stuff from mega corporations, but I can't say no to a kid in a chicken suit.
