Drills

There were a large group of sportswriters and sports copy editors on a football practice field, performing somewhat complex drills that involved passing and catching. Rock hesitated before he finally joined them, and was surprised to find that he could keep up. His passes were weak and wobbly but generally on the mark, and he caught every ball thrown to him.
One thing he noticed was that he was the only one there not wearing a dark green baseball hat. Someone told him they cost eight dollars. An old friend and cohort from the paper named Steve Rogers told Rock he shouldn't waste his money, but someone else explained to him why they were such a good deal.
"Here's the thing," he said. "You pay eight dollars for the cap, but then if you show the beer vendors your receipt, they'll give you eight dollars worth of beer for free."
