At the place across the street from my office, you can feed FIVE people ($3 sandwich, $1 drink). Good sammiches too.

Oh well, maybe your place has more competition. Do you work in an area with a lot of easily accessible alternatives?

I work in an area where you cannot go a half block without running into a place that sells food.

That’s like where I _live_, but unfortunately not where I work.

I like this. Make a bunch of origami people, trample them like Godzilla, then roll on them. Followed by cookies, juice and a long nap in a rubber room. 😃

Migawd, you are such a party woman! Your husband is a lucky, \*lucky \* man!

Get on the roof of a very tall building and toss them into the wind.

Cool idea, **Kat!**

[QUOTE=Mama Zappa]  
Oh cool - I’ll have to try that myself!

I jumped into the thread to suggest Where’s George myself. Great minds thing alike. I’ve actually gone so far as to spend money to get a rubber stamp, rather than just handwriting on them.  
[/QUOTE]

I had my stamp made at Costco. It says:

Where am I going?  
Where have I been?

> **[Where's George? ❝Currency Tracking Project❞](https://www.wheresgeorge.com)**
>
> Track US or Canadian dollar bills as they travel across the country. Enter the serial number and zip code to track its past history. Get email when the next person registers your bill!

While it all fits on the blank area next to the seal on a dollar bill, I would make the line size a point or two smaller if I could do it over again. Otherwise, it looks cool. Sometimes though, I just tape off the first two lines and stamp the last one on the border of the bill.
