No Money, No Icecream


Has it happened to you that you only discover you don't have any money, even coins in your wallet at the moment you are going to pay for something that you really wanted? The natural reaction is to ask your companion, if you have any, to just pay for the purchase & promise to pay for it later. But what if your companion also has no money at hand too?

Yes, this has happened to me! Me and my friend/office mate went out for lunch. After eating, we craved for dessert. We fancied then to buy ice cream. The sales lady has done scooping when we realize our little problem. Good thing we have not started eating the ice cream. My friend went straight to the ATM while I stayed at the ice cream stand. It was really embarrassing. If not for the ice cream, we will not realize this and will have this situation at the parking lot!

But the thing is, we were not able to buy the ice cream because the vendor has no change for the 1,000 bill.

Moral lesson: Never crave for ice cream? Duh?
