What can I say? I'm quite a guy. I rarely have trouble with coke machines,
either, by the way. I find that if you gently crease a bill lengthwise before 
you insert it, problems melt away, and you glide, glide, glide your way to
automatic farecard/vending machine nirvana. 

I think this is one of those things that plagues certain people and not others.
I have friends who constantly get pulled for speeding, even though they
drive exactly like I do (I never get pulled), and friends who in college 
had arguments and misunderstandings with every professor and administrator 
imaginable, even though they were sweet, lovely people (I never did). My 
electromagnetic vibrations even make bugs in the program we develop at work 
mysteriously right themselves just by virtue of my mere presence.

It's a charmed existence I lead. Though since moving into the District I've
become a parking ticket magnet. It's payback time for all the illegal parking
I got away here while I lived in NoVA.
