I told you that we had paid 25 dollars to climb in this competition
and that was not entirely true. I had paid about none because I had
begged the rest. In the days leading up to the competition I was
asking anyone who would hold still and looked like they could spare a
fiver. I asked my mom and dad, of course. I also asked my friend's
unrequited-love-interest’s mom who shelled out for if not a good
cause per se not a cause that was inherently evil. When I
asked her my friend and I we standing out in her driveway talking to
and flirting with her daughter and my request embarrassed my friend
into punching me in the ribs when she went inside. He was not to
proud to pocket his five dollars. I asked all of my friend's parents
and by the time the climbing competition came around I was further in
the black then the entry fee would set me back so I put a little
toward gas and some overpriced food. This means that, in point of
fact, I was at one time in my life a sponsored rock climber and that
is a very rare thing. I did not do my patrons proud as I will shortly
expound.
