BUT I THOUGHT THEY WOULD LOOK NICER IF I CLEANED THEM..........

TODAY A MAN IN HIS LATE 20'S WALKED INTO MY ANTIQUE SHOP AND WANTED TO SELL ME SOME COINS. AS I DO IN EVERY CASE, I TOLD HIM I WOULD NEED HIS DRIVERS LICENSE, WITH ADDRESS AND PHONE NUMBER. THIS WAY I FIGURE IF THE GOODS ARE STOLEN PROPERTY HE WOULD POLITELY TELL ME HE LEFT IT AT HOME AND WOULD COME BACK SOON, NEVER TO BE SEEN AGAIN. HE SEEMED TO BE CLEAN SHAVEN AND POLITE AND AGREED TO DO SO. OF COURSE AS WITH ANY PERSON COMMING IN TO SELL ME SOME KIND OF GOODS THERE IS A STORY. USUALLY I NEED GAS MONEY. WELL HE TOLD ME SOME STORY ABOUT HIS GIRLFRIEND NEEDING TO TAKE A BUS HOME TO WEREVER. ANYWAYS HE REACHED INTO HIS POCKETS AND GRABED A HANDFULL OF COINS.....I KNOW WHAT YOUR THINKING.....POOR HELPLESS COINS! WELL MY FIRST THOUGHT WAS TO DROP KICK HIS OUT THE DOOR, BUT BEING THE GENTELMAN THAT I AM, I HELD MY THOUGHTS TO MYSELF. HE PUT THEM DOWN ON THE GLASS COUNTER LIKE A SCHOOL BOY DROPING COINS FOR CANDY!!! CLING -CLANG -CLUNG THEY WENT. I HELD MY BREATH, AND GAVE HIM A LESSON IN HOW TO HANDLE COINS. THEY WEREN'T BAD A FEW MORGANS, FRANKLINS, AND WHAT NOTS. NOTHING TO WRITE HOME ABOUT. HE SAID HE HAD MORE AT HOME IF I WAS INTERESTED. I AGREED AND TOLD HIM TO TAKE THE LOT AND COME BACK WITH THE REST.......20 MINUTES LATER HE WALKS IN WITH A SMILE....TAKES THE COINS OUT OF A BROWN PAPER BAG, EVER SO GENTLY AND PLACED ABOUT 15 COINS ON THE VELVET BLACK TRAY I PUT OUT SO WE COULD LOOK THEM OVER AND COME TO SOME AGREEMENT.... TO MY AMEZEMENT THERE WERE SOME NICE COINS RAW, CLEAN, SHINE. OH HE SAID "I HOPE YOU LIKE THEM, I EVEN CLEANED THEM WITH SOME WINDEX".!!!!!!!YOU DID WHAT!!!!! WELL HE REPLIED "BUT I THOUGHT THEY WOULD LOOK NICER IF I CLEANED THEM" AND SO THE STORY GOES....AND THERE WENT THE SALE....WONDER IF HIS GIRLFRIEND EVER GOT ON THAT BUS?
