Dupped?

I, too, feel that I have been dupped by the magazine gang. Yep,
right on a busy Valentine Day as I was making my famous almond
rocha candy for the family treat. A young lady knocked on the
door. She was a fast talker, wearing corn curls, and zippy jeans.
She had freckles on her face. I invited her in - shouldn't
have. Same street, same story - make money for this trip if
she sold magazines and earned points. Humm? I didn't want that
rocha to burn! Her pal knocked on the door and in she came. Spoke
with an accent. Very tall; said she was from Germany. My first
thought; why would anyone want to visit Ketchikan in the dead
of winter? Go on a trip - what kind of trip - girls? Long story
short - handed her money for a magazine. My rocha was very, very,
expensive I might add, but the family loved it.
