Sports and finances

Did you chuckle when you heard that the porn industry, the world's oldest profession (and the one that introduced the author to the word "concubine") is in need of a financial assist ($5 billion) in these troubled economic times?
I'd like some financial assistance, too, though not for practicing porn. I don't think I can go beat on the New York Yankees' door. After all, they provide a subsidy for the rest of the major leagues. I can't ask the Rockies. They can't afford Matt Holliday, so they certainly can't afford to help out a 50-year-old dude who can't stay out of divots on football fields.
The Nuggets can't help. The Avs are paying Joe Sakic an inordinate amount of money so he can stick his hand in the front end of a snow thrower.
I guess my financial assistance will be found in the loose change in parking lots, hubcaps and pants pockets.
That nice Quansett hut on the corner? I'll take it. Do I get heat? Central air?
