My mother had broken her leg yesterday, so I had been recruited to make the deliveries that she was supposed to be doing, now that her shipment of kitchen supplies had come in.

The referral that I got from the student employment service said I was to help out with a ladies luncheon. I would receive one hundred bucks for five to six hours work. I was to get there about 10:00 a.m. to set up tables and chairs, help a little in the kitchen, serve drinks and food, and clean up. I grabbed my helmet and jumped on my big two wheeler and he...
