On friday night, when we arrived at the house in ocean city, sue, andre's sister-in-law, placed a tiny present on the dining room table. It was part of a game, and she explained that it was a matchbox (the small kind, not the costco version) that contained 30 items you'd find in an average american household. She handed out index cards, and we had until 6pm monday night to write as many things as we could think of that might be in the box. Whoever had the most items correct would receive $1 per correct item. There were 20 of us there, but since some were kids, only 12 or so actually played the game. On monday night, sue handed out the lists and opened the present to reveal the items. With 15 correct items, i won! It was a blast, and i left $15 richer! If you want to try it yourself, stop reading now. If not, scroll down for my list, and the actual items.

That is so fun!
i dont get it! how can all those things fit into a little matchbox?
Oh it can be done Evil. I saw it with my own eyes. That's what's so challenging about it!
toe nail clipping? that is gross.
public hair? that is double gross.
You mean pubic hair? That would be gross. The toenail clipping was made even worse by the fact that no one knows who's it was. Sue got it from a neighbor who's a podiatrist and had some in his pocket or something. Vomit.
