"So how would yours truly have stiffed the 2009 Parish Festival Committee of Eighty Dollars?" :)

Answer:

Simple!

I would have held on to those 8 pristine - clean book of raffle tickets, while at the same time giving the 2009 Festival Committee blow - off answer after blow - off answer, until -- pouting prettily -- I'd have shoved a clear plastic bag with these same 8 blank books of raffle tickets at the first committee person I confronted, crossed my little arms, tossed my pretty little head of luxuriant hair, and then stalked off in a huff. :)

Folks!

Forget the $80.00 cash lump sum donation, it would have already been long gone!:)
