How long will $1 last on the bulletin board?

I so want to report that to a mod so they can delete it, and then we can see how long it was up.

Mmm. A day after, and no moderator admin or Cecil took it. Yep, this is the most honest board on earth!

<snip>When the new $50 bills came out, we noticed that the backs looked “fake” compared to the old $50. So we stuck it in a scanner and printed it on an ink jet…just the back. We made a couple and wrote “Fooled You Dumbass” or something similar on the blank front. Took them to the bar and discreetly “dropped” them on the floor. Hilarity ensued as we watched the bar patrons go from thinking they’d struck it rich to seeing they’d been had.

(I know, you’re not supposed to make copies of currency, but until the “Fooled You Dumbass” edition of the $50 comes out, hopefully I’ll be OK)

I just wanted to post from the other side of this. My boyfriend at the time and I were excruciatingly poor - no money at all, and we thought we found a twenty on the sidewalk which would have bought groceries for us. It was a “fooled you dumbass” kind of fake twenty, and you have no idea how that made me feel. I think I barely managed to not burst out crying. There was no hilarity in that for us whatsoever.

I work with a bunch of thieving thieves.

Cut a rectangle of paper somewhat smaller than the dollar bill, so you can tape it to the bulletin board and then pin the dollar bill at both ends over it. On the smaller paper: “You are on camera.”

Everyone knows that cash in an office environment is kind of worthless. Like cigarettes in a prison, the only way to get things accomplished in the cubicles is with chocolate.

Tape a Hershey bar to that bulleten board and see how long it lasts.

Jeebus! It was gone at 4:50 pm (the first time I checked). Less than 2 hours. I work with a bunch of thieving thieves.

Actually, I was thinking someone should set up a comparison study between how long the dollar lasted when there WAS someone hawking charity chocolate bars in an “honor box” (at the usual $!.00 each) and when there was not.
