The Wind Stole My $10
Posted by Cap in Even More Ramblings |I was driving on the highway last night, window down.
Somehow, as if by magic, an U.S. bill lifted itself up from the center console, glided across my face and flew out of the window.
The entire ordeal is made more stupid by my immediate reaction when I saw the bill dance across my face: “Oh crap, is that Andrew Jackson or George Washington?” I asked myself, instead of grabbing for the bill.
A quick calculation with the abbacus later revealed it to be Hamilton.
So if you find a $10 bill on the 15 highway somewhere between San Diego and Las Vegas, please give me my money back. Thanks.

Haha, that stinks though. Now you have learned a lesson, don’t put money in the center console.
That’s what pockets are for. Or you can send it to me and I’ll hold onto it for you.

Between San Diego and Las Vegas huh??????? That REALLY narrows it down Cap!

If all you lose on a trip to Las Vegas is a ten-spot you should consider yourself extremely lucky.
Watch and see if it shows up here. :-)

Could have been worse – you could have done something like this with tickets to a world cup game you and your friends were going to

here’s the thing, I was fairly sure it was tuck underneath my wallet. yes I should have put it in the wallet.
I’ve only lengthen the distance to increase my odds in recovering the money. if george from “change is good” finds it, he can keep it I guess.
as for the world cup tickets, that must have been staged. if not… well, he deserves whatever his friends will do to him.

I was half-expecting an article about rampant inflationary money-printing, lol.
