Whew! Glad you warned me! I was about to pass a pocketful of one
billion dollar bills around town. You know, the ones with the portrait of GWB on one side, and a refinery on the other? Of course, such an injection of cash really
could perk up the local economy!
That reminds me of a delightful short story by Mark Twain called
The Million Pound Bank Note. It goes by a number of different forms of the title (
1,000,000, Pound sterling symbol, etc.) as well as
The Five Million Dollar Bank Note. After you've chuckled over someone trying to pass a huge fake bill, read about someone trying to pass a
real 5,000,000 dollar bill...
