Basically every guy is a rogue agent in waiting

So it's Wednesday. Time for my first class and so I park my little scooter in my usual spot only to realize that the paymeter's credit card processor is busted. Lame. So I park in an underground parking garage nearby knowing that I have some cash. I check my wallet... $2. That would cover 45 minutes. Arggh.

So on the way back from class I try to find a Chase bank. There are 3...yes three... building all labeled Chase at the intersection of Mill & University, only one is actually a bank. I get to the ATM only to realize I loaned my card to Kate so we could get rewards points on a big purchase today. Double Arggh.

So what do I do? I don't have cash and don't have a way to get cash.

Here are my options:

1. Pray that the garage takes Amex

2. Ask for an IOU (unlikely)

3. Drive around the gate as it is only big enough to stop cars and not scooters

4. Devise a plan in which I roll the scooter into the elevator with me and ride away

If you guessed 4, then you are clearly Kate and cheated by knowing the answers to this quiz. Yes, that's right my first thought was math:

Scooter (250 lbs.) + Gavin (200 lbs., give or take) = Well below the weight capacity of any elevator.

I guess I was just going to ride out like Jason Bourne chasing that assassin in Tangiers (Bourne Ultimatum). However, I opted not to ride the elevator with my scooter because I have watched enough Burn Notice to know that elevators always have cameras (Face on security tape= busted).

I ended up taking option #3 and went out the cardholders entrance which had less personnel than the public entrance. Thanks to lessons learned from action movies I got away scott-free, I hope.
