Concert Ticket Generator

A most interesting website.

Dave Donohue, who sent it my way, wrote, "Just in case your readers need to fabricate ticket stubs from shows they never went to."

Me, being the random actor I am, I immediately thought about other, less innocent applications.

I was also reminded of something that happened back in Milwaukee when I was a boy, still one of the funniest things ever.

My younger brother, our best friend and I went to Braves game, as we did most days during summer vacation.

We'd buy general admission tickets, then stealthily move down into the lower box seats around the fifth or sixth inning.

Anyhow, as we were making our way down, my brother found some box seat stubs, discarded by people who'd already left.

We said to him, throw your general admission stub away, just in case an usher comes up to you and asks to see your ticket.

He said, "Naaah."

Well.

We finally get down to the first row, right between home and third.

An usher comes down and says, "Can I see your tickets?"

No problem for me and our bud, who'd discarded our original stubs; my brother reaches into his pocket, grabs a stub, and pulls out... his general admission ticket.

"You kids get outa here."

Boy, mad doesn't begin to describe us.

We were all over little brother the rest of the day.

Ha.
