It s probably just as well, but the gist of the column was: My single blonde friend and I combined our households for a garage sale. While sorting through items, she would hold something up and ask something like: Where did you get this? Fortunately, she didn`t add the word monstrosity. And my reply was usually something like: Oh, you remember old what`s his name. He gave it to me when he got a guilty conscience for taking somebody else to ski in Aspen. Let`s put a $.25 cent tag on it. And then, another object, with a similar answer. In sum, I had about six or seven unwanted gifts in the pile, all marked $.25 cents.
