Twins: 1- Orioles: 4
- Sold: 50 cartons Dibs Ice Cream
In Baltimore, a powdery mist fell upon Camden Yard before giving way utterly to repeated waves of driving rain. It pooled and puddled and drained from the spouts, and hardy groups of slickered fans huddled inside for it to blow over. Owing to my low rank on the vendors' seniority list (#59 of about 63 that ever bother to show up), I was selling "Dibs"** in this sloppy environment, and only members of of a few big kids groups bought any of it. Once the kids were covered, a made a lame attempt to drum up some business (or at least interest) among everyone else:
Dibs, Dibs ice cream here
Creamy confection you eat with your beer!-- before giving up during the second rain delay, then watching the Capitals lose game three against the Penguins.
37 bucks in commission made, 6 in tip, of which 3 of it was tipped out. This has got to end. If April showers bring May flowers, then what do May showers bring?
** Small cartons of chocolate covered chunks of flavorless white ice cream; at $4.50 easily the worst deal of anything I sell anywhere.
