366 Days with J. Jonah Jameson, Day 355: Hix Nix Pick-Up Stix

Maybe this time it'll be a thousand dollar Christmas bonus...

On the bright side, Peter got bus money. Looks like a cool seventy-five cents, which is nothing to scoff at. (Except that Manhattan bus fare in 1996 was a buck fifty.)

Me, on the other hand...I like pick-up-sticks.
