A Super Bowl Deal

Super bowl Sunday, a day when sports fans of all races and religions come together. My close friends Gringols, and Leenoser are middle class blue collar workers, men who keep Blackfoot’s plumbing system among the best in the country. So as a gesture, I decide to buy them tickets to the big game being held in Detroit. As an entrepreneur, a man of my stature has no problems obtaining high-demand items such as the Lower Lounge Box Seats overshadowing the 50 yard line. 3 tickets it was to be. Gringols, Leenoser and I would be enjoying an afternoon of festivities for a mere $785 a piece. To further reward them, I rented a chartered “super bowl party jet” which would fly us over to Detroit from Blackfoot. The whole 9 yards; leather seats, cocktails, appetizers, and escorts.

And this was all scheduled for this weekend, until my friend Ralphy offered me a proposition. Turns out, last week, while Ralphy was being treated at the hospital for a rash, he found a mentally ill patient who was willing to buy two tickets for $3,000 a piece.

As a scalping business man, I could not pass this venture up. In fact I would profit from my planned trip to the Super Bowl. The total expenses for three people were $5,300, so I would actually end up:
My personal expense: $5,300 – $2,700 = $2,500
Income from the sale: $3,000 + $3,000 + ($1,900 chartered flight included) = $7,900
Total Profit: $7,900 - $2,500 = $5,400

So I went through with it. Sold them. As I write this from my Luxury Seat, in anticipation for the game, I assure to you; Gringols and Leenoser, that I will make this up somehow. Maybe we’ll take some of the money that I made from this and spend some of it on a dinner or something.
