One at a Dime

T: "Yo, I'm going down to get water from the vending machine"
Me: "Yea ok. Take your dime... I mean Time.... same difference"
T: " HAHAHA...HAHA"
Me: "HAHAHA...HAHA"

You're probably lost. In order to remedy that let's take a trip back in time to 4 am Sunday morning outside W residence.
As Me and T enter the building flying high, we turn right to look at the two vending machines and we know that it's munchies time. Before I go on any further, I would just like to mention that this is the super-abridged version of the story. But every single bit is true.
It's 4 am and all cafeterias on campus are obviously closed. The vending machines catch more than just our attention.
T:"How much change do you have on you?"
Me:"I don't even have enough change for my bus ride to the subway station. I dot E dot I have no change"
T:"I have 3 quarters, let's go check out the vending machines, I'm starving"
Me: " Me too "
There are two vending machines. One is for drinks worth 2 dollars each. The other is for snacks worth 1.25 dollars each. And we have 0.75 dollars. Just our luck. After scavenging through the room we find 2 more quarters, bringing our grand total to... TADA !!! One Snack.
We go down to the vending machines and put the five quarters in the snack machine.
T:"What do you want?"
Me:"Everything"
T:"Right"
And then T hits the return button and we get back our change. Except that instead of the 5 quarters we put in we get a loonie (one dollar ) and a quarter. Nice.
Me:"Hey let's try it on the drinks machine and see what we get"
T puts in the 1.25 into the drinks vending machine and hits the return button. Out come 5 quarters.
We, by the way, are still starving.
Me:"Hey let's see if we can move all of the loonies from the snacks machine into the drinks machine and all of the quarters from the drinks machine to the snacks machine"
T:" Haha!! Let's do it!"
That's pretty much all that happens for the next 2o min and my stomach is about to turn into a vaccum when it hits me...
Me:"uhh T?"
T:"Yea?!??!" (really hyper now...)
Me: " You do realize that the drinks machine only changes the loonie... we don't really need to put the extra 25 cents in..."
T: " Haha! True!! "
So, T puts in the loonie and hits return. As the transaction is being processed...
T:"But the machine does give us back a new quarter..."
Me:"True..."
I put in the lone quarter and hit return... no sound but that of air. We lost our quarter and any chance of getting anything to eat.
Me and T: "Fuck!!"
Just as I was resigning to the fact that I will have to fill my stomach with tapwater... somehow, after multiple tries of putting in quarters and hitting return we get our fifth quarter back.
T:"Yaaaay!"
Me:"Ok no more fucking around, let's get something to eat."
T:" Ok.. but let's just try this one last thing"
T takes out a dime. We now have $1.35. We put it in the snack machine and hit return.
*Clink* = Loonie
*Clink* = Quarter
*Clink* = Dime
Me:"Phew! Ok now I suggest that we get the..."
*Clink* = Extra Dime
T: " We're fucking rich!! "
Me: " I don't believe it... do it again"
We try again, leading to the same result.
Me:" Do it again "
Same result.
Me: " Let's see if we can make this machine run out of dimes... "
5 Minutes later...
Me:" Dude... you know what this means? We can get a snack and a drink!"
5 more Minutes later...
Me:" And now we can get a snack and a drink each! ""
Many more 5 Minutes later...
Me:" Ok stop, we don't plan to feed India. Let's eat I'm starving "
T: "Ok let's just get our trophy dimes"
*Clink*
*Clink*
T:" Ok, now, what do you want? "
Me : " Everything "
T : " Ok! "
We discovered a way to con the machine. I don't know how many dollars worth of snacks and drinks we had that night. You could say we earned more than the minimal wage-rate per hour. It was a miracle under the circumstances. The biggest Happy Feeling I've had in a long time. Truly heartfelt. Nothing feels better than robbing a vending machine and doing it legally. It's no crime to pick up a 5 dollar bill off of the street.
Anyways we eat our fill and go to sleep. Next morning T comes into my room...
T: "Yo, I'm going down to get water from the vending machine"
Me: "Yea ok. Take your Dime... uhh I mean Time.... uhh same difference"
T: " HAHAHA...HAHA"
Me: "HAHAHA...HAHA"
