m0smithslash's Journal: Helping Jerry's Kids

Once, when I was but a wee lad, I went door to door around the neighborhood during the Jerry Lewis telethon to collect money for Jerry's kids. Being the adorable little angel I was, I amassed quite a wad of cash for those afflicted with muscular dystrophy. Then to my suprise, a police car pulled up beside me and a very tall, very scary policeman got out and asked me what I was doing. I showed him my money and told him what it was for. He took me home and I had to get a Jerry Lewis Telethon flyer taped to my money bucket so people would not thing I was stealing the money. Apparently, one of my generous neighbors had called the cops on me.

It was fun to go later and drop off all the money.
