GOODNESS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT

This title tempts me into writing about being in trouble. I've had my days of being bad and I'm bad, only when I say I'm bad. I think this week's column will have you all breathing a sigh of relief, cause you might be thinkin you're bad when you're in trouble. And that's up to you, fellas.

Take for example the other day, buying a ticket at the machine, for the underground subway in Munich. I was really tryin to be a first class citizen and buy a ticket like the rest of the folks. I even attracted a suited up gentleman,who had never used one of those machines to try to help me out. (Annie Mae doesn't miss many chances to let others help her out!)

We selected a one way ticket to town and put the exact coins in and the machine shot them out the other end! Hmmmm! Surprisin, considering German technology.
I thought it must be us doin something wrong, since German machines are right. So we try it again, and the coins come out again. No ticket.

So then another prospective gentlemen comes along and he thinks he can get the machine to work. And he KNOWS how to use the machine!

So I figure, Annie Mae did everything she could. Even tried two machines and no ticket. I thanked the gentleman and released them from their duties.

So the next choice was go for free! In days past, Annie Mae would have gone through ticketless feeling horrible and guilty. Not this time! I wrapped my furs around me and sailed past the ticket reading machines and jumped on that underground train bound for glamourous downtown Munich!

Angels must have already paid for me!
