Ghetto Booty
Sometimes life gives us little treasures when we're least expecting it. Today, for example, I was just finishing a long run when something caught the corner of my eye. I stopped, reached down, and found this:
And on the reverse:
That's right! This is a DOUBLE SIDED "Ghetto Booty" key chain with glittery silver letters and a stylish red brick patterned background. I did not know such a thing could be, and yet, there it was, on the cobbled sidewalk of Chestertown's historic district. Without a second thought, I claimed the prize for my own.
Sitting here now, I wonder who owned the Ghetto Booty key chain before it fell into my clutches. How did the owner feel about the Ghetto Booty key chain? Was it a badge of pride? A totem of self-identification? Does the owner lament its loss? Is there a lonely owner of a ghetto booty out there somewhere, lost and adrift without the legitimacy bestowed by possession of this key chain, which is kind of like a license to flaunt one's ghetto booty?
If you are the rightful owner of the Ghetto Booty key chain, please contact me, and I will (reluctantly) return it to you. I will, of course, demand a lengthy explanation of how you came to own the thing and how you came to lose it. If the Ghetto Booty key chain is not claimed within 30 days, I will keep it for my own. And will cherish it always.

Aw! This reminds me of my favorite piece of tourist junk I saw in Key West last week -- the "Surrender the Booty" flag: http://www.flagline.com/id60P04
I hope no one claims your find. :)
