Actually, I’ll do the Walk for Cancer (heaven only knows how much of the cash actually goes to research, given the expensive hoopla that surrounds those events–though much of the hoopla is donated by radio stations and performers). But if my choice were between pink balls and no balls, I guess I’d have found something else to do with that Memorial Day.

@ Dolly- I’ll have to try that next time I am solicited for a donation. Sounds like the results are quite humorous.

When people at the till ask me if I want to donate a dollar to the “local food bank” I always ask which bank it would be given to. Not once has anyone every been able to tell me. They always say I’m the first to ask. Right. I never give out at the register. Choice of charity is personal.

My wife and I took up the sport and went to a nearby tennis court and after each group left, they left a few balls that were out of their way to pick up. We collected 12 balls in all, that play perfectly well for us beginners. How is that for frugal, booya!
