So? What did "Jew" do?
So, I'm sure you're all wondering how the furniture decision turned out. Here's what I did...
I called the first buyer and told him there was a lot of interest in the furniture and that I had several offers for more money than the price we agreed to. I told him that I would still honor the agreement we made, but I would not be at all flexible on price or pick up date/time. He understood and appreciated that I would honor our verbal agreement. He showed up right on time with his older brother and they removed and carried all the furniture to the U-Haul...without scratching or denting any walls or floors. He was no older than about 20 and was moving into his first place....hence the need for the furniture. He thanked me very much and said that he really appreciated that I honored the $200 price. He said he wanted to pay me the extra $100, but didn't get paid till the following Friday, but could bring it to me then. I was very impressed with the gesture, but told him not to worry about it. I said I was happy that I could help out a young guy that was just starting out and he'd get more out of that $100 than I would. All in all, I felt pretty good about it. In addition to that...I'd also like to say that I'm impressed with my circle of friends and readers. Pretty much everyone I talked to said to honor the verbal agreement and not back out on it just for the extra $100.
They say people are judged by the company they keep...so I'm thankful that I have friends like that to keep me looking good. :-)
Who would have ever thought I'd write a sappy feel good post on this blog....Ewwww. I'm gonna go wash my hands. Stay tuned for some new bloggings...we'll be back to the funny stuff soon.

GOOD GUY.
fix the double my towards the end of the post. you know, the part where you are essentially telling everyone how great a person i am for steering you in the right direction.
I am proud that you made the honorable and moral decision. The kid who bought the furniture will remember what you did forever because episodes like this make very lasting impressions. Good work.
