THE other day i was at Wal Mart and a little lady was sending money to the Virgin Islands. I stuck my nose in her business and said you know its a scam and she said i send money all the time, this fella needs it for his family.

I said ma am, give to the Salvation Army here or some Church it will help more people than youll know. She said oh i cant do that, this fella always writes me and thanks me.

It was like talking to the wall and the girl there said she
sends it all the time as a bunch of others do too.

I tried. I really did. Lamarguy

No matter how much to talk to people, they will still do the same mistakes! I bet the guy on the other end is thinking, "Boy this is like shooting Fish in a barrel!"
The Salvation Army is the only one I donate to.
They done a real good job after the Tornado in Holly!
