La Bricoleuse

once upon a time a friend of mine came into the dining hall with the circular, 4" mercedez-benz emblem, which she said she'd found on the ground (rather than prized off someone's car.) She challenged us all to wear it, and said the best use would be rewarded with the object. Elizabeth tried winding it in her long hair, another put a shoelace through it for a necklace. I unsnapped the epaulet of my jacket and slipped it on. And wore there for years.
