A story from John Madden

In Oakland we had a row of sinks and mirrors, and at the end of the sinks and mirrors is a row of toilets. One day Ted Hendricks was at the end of the sinks and mirrors. He goes to comb his hair and as he reached into his pocket to get his comb out, some change fell into the toilet.

I was at the other end of the thing, and I was watching down there. Ted starts staring into the toilet and I said, 'Man, this is weird.'

The next thing I know he kneels down and he's staring into the toilet. I said, 'What the heck is he doing?' He stood up, reaches into his pocket again, takes out a roll of bills, takes out a $50 bill and goes 'Wop' -- and he throws it in the toilet.

'I said, 'Holy cow, what are you doing?' He looks at me and says, 'You don't think I'm going in there for 35 cents, do you?'
