A Dozen & One Ways To Lose Your Keys In Berkeley California

1. Walking home from a late lecture
2. Panhandling on Telegraph
3. Stealing a dollar from a hobo
4. Getting beat up for stealing a dollar from a hobo
5. Eating a twenty-dollar burger on University
6. Crying on your walk home from spending twenty-dollars on a shitty burger
7. Gossiping to your neighbor about the rescission, inflation, or your stinky French landlord
8. Ignoring your Father’s sporadic chain letter scams
9. Wishing you had another twenty dollars–maybe another shitty burger
10. Apologizing to that hobo and buying him a burger too
11. Selling your high school record collection to the angry buyer at Rasputin
12. Running into that fling on the bart
