Now you too can help prop up your local economy… keyword: local.

So a guy walks into a store and he picks out like, $300.00 worth of stuff.  He then precedes to the clerk and gets rung up, when the clerk tells him the amount the guy takes out a wad of rainbow hued cash.  As the clerk looks on in disbelief the guy thumbs through the bills and hands him $300 of what appears to be play money with the faces of some local officials on it.  The clerk says “Hey, we don’t accept monopoly money here!” , the guy without missing a beat says “It’s not monopoly money, but I guess it is from the community chest…”

Ha-ha, funny story?  Well, no, not really… the crazy part is it’s true! 

cash story

Well, I suppose it’s a good idea in theory, then again you’d have to want to support your community.  I don’t particularly care for the stores in my tri-county area so I guess I’m stuck dealing with greenbacks.  If, however, you actually have friends that work locally and have businesses, maybe this is the solution in to keep alot of places in business.  It would seem the spirit of Jimmy Stewart lives on, fighting the Mr.. Potters of the world…. just don’t try to spread any of that silliness past your own town limits….
