Love to Know Slideshow

If you were stranded far away from home and only had $20 in your wallet, what would you do?

My car has just broken down in the middle of nowhere. I decided that it would be a good idea to use my cell phone's GPS to see where I was but that only caused my phone to die, effectively stranding me with no forms of communication. Before my phone had died I had noticed that there was a town fairly close to where I was so I headed off in that direction. Once I got to the town I headed to the local diner. There I pulled out my wallet hoping that I had enough money for food. It turned out that I only had $20. I made the decision not to buy any food and to just get change and use the phone to call someone to pick me up. I then got change and dialed up my best friend. It took a few rings but he eventually picked up and I explained to him my situation. He seemed angry but he reluctantly agreed to come pick me up.  Around an hour later I was being driven home, very happy that I was going home but also very hungry!
