Forgiveable: Don Quixote Steals Cab Fare
Some ideas are better than others. Like, kindness over suffering, skins over shirts, or my personal favorite, Yeses instead of Nos.
The mystery makesmith who embossed 33 nickel charms to illustrate Spain’s most unapologtically chivalric bit of romantic fiction- you know, for funsies- had a great idea. Maybe there were a few less Indians with small pox, because this guy chose not to show up to the blanket factory one day.
I came upon this charming bit of wearable fiction while sourcing chain maille on ebay. Despite the prude imagery volunteered by the seller, I’d noticed its uniqueness and decided to scrap it for parts. Still though, it was a bit pricey for a handful of nickel. Subsequently, I found myself glacially bobbing homeward with the rest of the serfs, having forgone the pound of flesh required for a cab ride.
Turns out it tells the tale of Don Quixote start to finish, one uniquely engraved vignette at a time. *insert all knowing grin*
You demand a moral? Fine. Chivalry ain’t dead, it’s wrapped ‘round the wrist of a cocktail waitress in Chinatown.
Get Back to Work,
