My friend and I were in a record store to buy a 45-speed record of
his favorite song. After he located it, he realized that he forgot his
wallet. Instead of going out and getting his wallet, he decided to get

a record, but I'm mighty proud of it."
Yea, I know it didn't really happen, but I felt like
