The early bird gets the worm....

...but the second mouse gets the cheese.


Can you think of an anology where you were a bird or a mouse? I've played the role of a bird several times. I can only think of once where I played the role of a mouse.

I'm usaually the early bird. However, about a year ago, I was at the Waco show. I walked up to a dealer's table just after some guy had droped off a toned dollar for him to concider. He was looking it over and was thinking it was just too much money. I asked him if I could take a look at it. He said sure and handed it to me. I asked him what the guy had quoted him. He told me. I told him that if he bought it, I'd buy it from him. I asked if I'd let him make $10 off of it. I told him I'd give him a $25 profit on it. The deal went down. I still have the coin. I was the second mouse in that instance.
