Gotta Second-Hand It To Her

(I’m in senior year of high school and a member of the chess club. Our team captain thought it would be a bit of a joke if everyone on the team wore black and white checkered sweat bands for our games. The sweat bands arrive and are delivered to the team members during form class. A particular girl, who is known for getting her way, sees my new chess-themed sweat band and her eyes pop.)

Girl: “How much was it?”

Me: “$2.”

Girl: “I’ll give you $1 for it since it’s second-hand.”

(I heard that after completing high school, she decided to take up a career in politics.)
