1) I have played the “I Had Cancer” card to get better seats at a Bruce Springsteen concert. I even showed the usher the scar on my neck to drive the point home. It worked – we got great seats for one of his last concerts at the Spectrum.
2) I have played the “I’m Pregnant” card to get better parking at a Phillies game. Granted, I was seven months pregnant at the time, but I was in perfect health. I just didn’t want to have to walk to the stadium. I gave the parking attendant a sad look, and he waved us through to the handicap lot.
3) I have played the “My Mom Passed Away 8 Weeks Before My Wedding” card to get a better deal on a new car.
4) I have played the “I Had Cancer” card to get others to do my dirty work. Dirty work in this case means I didn’t want to walk to the bar to get a beer. I was simply being lazy, and asked my cousin “F” to get me a beer. He said no….I said the word cancer….and off he scurried.
5) I once wore a knee brace at Disney World, which enabled me to jump to the front of the line after a cast member expressed concern that I would be standing too long. Disclaimer: I did this for one ride, and felt so guilty, I took the brace off and dealt with my pain for the rest of the day.
Everyone has moments like this. Now is the time to come clean…..
