I ask for every discount I can get. Manager's Specials, Seniors, blah blah.
I wear them out.

One time, we were in Dallas for a Redd Volkaert concert, and they sold out of tickets right before we reached the counter. I asked the girl to be honest with me, "If the POTUS came to see the show, could you manage to find him a couple tickets?"

She said, "Of course!"

I said, "Well, he ain't gonna be here, so I'll take his."
