through rain, sleet, snow and exactas

Two saturdays ago, my co-worker X, was called up to the bedroom of his elderly and infirm customer. She had a request for him.
No, not " Would you please mail this for me?" or " Could you buy me some stamps?".
Instead she wanted him to place an exacta bet for the Kentucky Derby at the Off Track Betting parlor, located one town over from his route.
Did he fulfill that request?
You bet he did (pardon the pun). . even helped her pick the second horse. They almost won the darn thing too...the second horse came in third!
The things we do for our customers.
One bet I feel very safe in making is that this lady gives him a BIG old tip at Christmas.
He may not be the best at giving tips on horses, but when it comes to getting Christmas tips from nice old ladies, he is a complete stud.
