[Rhodes22-list] Lucky Spuds

[Bill Effros]

Brad,

My favorite Irish bar is gone.  A friend and I used to go there once a 
week every week for lunch.  They basically gave away the food to get 
people inside.  I think the main course ran around $1.98.

But that's not what I'm writing about.  Another friend and I threaten 
every year to make a killing on St. Patrick's Day in New York City by 
selling "Lucky Spuds" to all the bars.  Those would be potatoes dyed 
green, with a fortune inside.

You are welcome to join the syndicate for next year.
