Putting Your Money Where Your Mouth Is

ouch!

What a gut wrenching story!

For desert? Sand, probably.

Putting your money where your mouth is, just causes you to mumble and stammer.

Few things come to mind as I read this....

first a couple of captions.

"My mother always told me not to swallow coins...but she never said anything about currency"

-"for such an expensive dinner, he sure didn't feel full."

-"the doctor said he needed more fiber, so next time to swallow paper currency"

then just some observations:

-How'd he pay for his surgery? Tell the doc "you go in and get it, you can keep it?"

-betcha this note ends up on ebay at some point.

-Some people just hide it under a mattress.

-it took him a week of pain to figure out that this plastic note was not going to make its way through?

-would this make this an error note? Instead of a brockage, a blockage?

-I'd heard of money burning a hole in one's pocket, but never poking a hole in their stomach.

-if you are what you eat, does that mean this guy is money now?

-Next thing you know, they'll have to put a disclaimer on any polymer currency stating that ingestion may cause illness.

-Gives the idea of "the goose that laid the golden egg" a whole new (and slightly disturbing) meaning.

-I wonder if it had gone all the way through....would the polymer note would have held up under these conditions and still be spendable in the end?

Tam! that was pretty good
