No, you ever feel this to hold you?

No, my back goes out once in a while.

There's a story Lucille Ball told off it over the years.

It happened long before I love Lucy made her famous.

She was around 17 and living in a boarding house in New York.

She was struggling to make it in show business.

It wasn't going well and she was broke.

So to eat, Lucy came up with a trick, a kind of low stakes con.

She talked about it on Shirley McClain's variety show.

I have to admit, I was kind of ingenious.

You see, there was this breakfast place.

I can't remember the name. There were a lot of them.

But they had big round counters.

And they gave you orange juice coffee and two donuts for 15 cents.

Now most everyone left a nickel chip.

And sometimes, praise God, they would leave half a donut.

And that's the kind of person I was waiting for.

And as soon as he put down his nickel, I'd slide onto the stool, pick up the half donut and say,

may I have some more coffee, please?

I got away with that for a month.

I didn't eat too much.

I found out how to go to Nidix and slip in.
