Mark Twain Would Be Proud

I believe one of the most honest things I have ever done is when I found a purse with $10,000 cash. If you ever find yourself in this situation it is the worst feeling in the world. My bills were piling up, I had lost my job, and God knows this would tide me over.

I brought the purse home and checked the ID, and wouldn't you know it, it belonged to an 83 year old widow. The next day there was a small article in the paper. It was her life savings and she lived alone.

"How could she have been so careless." It ended up her best friend of fifty years passed away and she was so distraught she left the purse on a bench and began wandering aimlessly. I returned it and she thanked me for my honesty.  One small problem, I made the story up.

Honestly!
