I had bought a Duran Duran shirt in 2002 and had been wearing it up until last year. Last year I realized it was too worn out so I decided to throw it in one of those salvation army boxes. On one weekend after I finished my grocery shopping I spotted a salvation army box next to the Shoprite I was at and so threw the shirt in there. It was a very unique shirt, not one that you could buy in a store but either at a concert or directly from the band's website (which is what I had done). The following week I spotted an employee in Shoprite wearing it. I know she was an employee because although not in uniform she was sitting in an employee-only section in their break section. There is no way that they had emptied the box this quick and distributed its contents. I'm guessing she just reached in and took it it out herself.

Yesterday I bought 3 ratls of meat and asked my wife to prepare it for dinner. When I came back from work the meat was missing. I asked my wife what happened to it and she said the cat ate it. So I weighed the cat and saw that it weighed 3 ratls. So I asked my wife, "If this is the cat, then where is the meat? And if this is the meat, then where is the cat?"

It is accurate to say that Alecko Eskandarian has never known life without soccer. “Really my earliest memory is being in the locker room with my dad’s Cosmos team,” said Eskandarian, 34, who is now the senior manager of player relations/competition at Major League Soccer HQ in Manhattan. “I was just starting to walk, but was already kicking a ball around. I remember all the different faces. I was loving it as a little kid, though I had no concept, no idea. I was just so excited about being around soccer players. “In locker room were all the guys: Hubert [Birkenmeier] and my dad were closest. Carlos Alberto would come into the locker room after different tours and he was always a guy my dad loved. Carlos would pull me aside to teach new things. I also loved kicking around with guys like Darryl Gee and David Brcic.” Not a bad way to cut your soccer teeth, before even cutting your real teeth.
