It is early in the morning but it should be about $64

It would have been $64 but I reckon he started out with $7564 and had to pay the rest in fines

Oh no, now we are going to have a huge discussion on the evils of Wal-mart and how it is subverting the nations economy. <br /><br />(86)

I don't think heycods would want to walk out of Cabela's with $4 in his pocket. The problem is therefore unrealistic, and that $4 needs to be spent on something!<br /><br />Besides, I think sending him in there with only $64 was a very mean thing to do, JB.<br />
