As you bound up the stairs you hear the sounds of a pretty vicious mauling. Although, I guess there’s really no such thing as a non-vicious mauling. And also considering this is the first mauling you’ve ever heard, you really don’t have anything to compare it to. So you make your way to the main floor where you make a hasty retreat toward the front door, but before you leave you realize that you still don’t have the money for the pizzas.
This will be the 8th delivery this week you’ll have to pay for out of your own pocket. You look around for something that you could take as compensation for the pizzas and your eye catches a small bronze statuette of Daniel Boone. That’ll probably fetch about fifty at a garage sale… enough to cover the pizzas.
