Going, Going, Gone, Billy Wins the Auction to Rescue Scott

I received a call from Scott yesterday afternoon at around 4:30. He had managed to lose my keys to the Honda sking, in addition to his wallet and cell phone. He had probably been too excited to get going in the morning and forgot to zip up his pocket. I couldn't get angry because he was talking to the orignal key loser in the world. The key has an electronic chip so a locksmith is no good. I went home and found the valet key which will work. Scott calls and I tell him I do not want to drive to Mount Hood Meadows. Well, Jeff his friends mother can go. "How old is she" I ask, imagining I was sending some 90 year old lady up to the mountains in the dark, noise in the background, Scott, "she is in her 40's" "Well she is younger then me, I am in my 50's so she can go." "Okay" Scott says, "but she is not wild about it." Wade is next to me. "Wade do you want to go up to Mount Hood Meadows, Scott will give you $100." "Surrre" Wade says. I call Scott. Five minutes later Scott calls back. "I have a guy from work that will come up here for $50. (the rescue price is getting cheaper) "Can you pay him dad and I'll pay you back." "Sure." Ten minutes later, another call from Scott. "Billy is all alone and will come up and doesn't need any money. (ah hah thats the best bid yet) He will go down to Salem and pick up the key." Billy comes I give him $40 for gas and food. He turns it down, but I insist, I say to salve my concience since I am the father and this is a huge favor. Scott pulled in around midnight looking like Rocky Raccoon (it was a sunny day)
