Of course we all laughed. I was dragged to this auction by my wife and couldn’t see why suddenly everyone was looking at me. I shifted uncomfortably and looked at Susan who had a very strange look on her face. And then I noticed some family members and even friends were sitting around me. Me? My future? What the hell is going on? Then a very large man came and picked me up, and stood me next to the auctioneer. He was holding me and I couldn’t move. Then the auctioneer spoke, “what am I bid for this man?” A couple of hands went up and I felt weird, like I might have been drugged, almost in a faint! Then everyone started laughing and my wife said, “you always know when I’m planning your surprise birthday party, but not this time, Joe…Happy Birthday!” Everyone started singing that song and Joe sank into a chair with relief. Later that night, Joe thought to himself, what am I really worth?
