I bought a cell phone under a phony name and prepaid a couple of months. This done, I placed an ad in one of the community papers where I knew Maryann would see it. I advertized some medieval astrology books and grimoires for sale, using my new cell phone number in the ad. I got a surprising number of calls on the ad, all but one from women. It occurred to me that this would be a great way to meet bimbos. On this occasion, however, I told them the stuff was already sold. Three days after the ad came out I got the call I was waiting for. I told Maryann I had not sold the items yet although I had several serious inquiries. I would sell to her for $250. This was high enough to stretch her meager budget but still be within her reach. The strain on her budget would enhance her idea of their value. She didn't know me very well and I had bought the cheapest cell phone I could find, counting on the lousy audio quality to help disguise my voice.
