Found money in the road

Yesterday I was driving home to get my wife and take her to dinner and ran over a huge nail.  Yeah, you guessed it, a flat tire!  So I pulled over and put on my hazard lights.  Said a couple of curse words and called my wife on my cell phone to tell her I was going to be late picking her up.  Although I had to stand on the top of my truck bed, I’m lucky there was cell phone signal at all in that area – it is a notorious dead spot!

Anyway, I got out my tire jack and spare tire and got ready to change the tire.  As I knelt down to start to remove the lug nuts I noticed something unusual – a $100 bill sitting there on the road!  No houses or cars in sight, just a $100 bill!  Well, you can imagine that I felt pretty good about that flat tire then!  Well, maybe not so good, but that $100 bill sure helped to pay for the tire repair and give me a little extra money to take my wife out to eat!
