Going Green Or Bust

I've turned over a new leaf, going green
It's green or it's bust, nothing in between --
   Lincoln, Hamilton, Jackson
   Ulysses Grant and Franklin --
But not Washington ~ that dollar has-been

I prefer a bust, but you could ask Powell to issue $25-banknotes each Thanksgiving, knowing people will give them as Christmas presents which might never be cashed . . . . . Aloha!

How about $3.7 dollar banknotes? That would remove any indication of 'Fed Supremacy!' Don't want to get accused of that! :)

You can trade them in for Lucky GW bucks. Pretty soon, what with the soaring inflation here, the pesos will be worth more though. You'd better hang on to them for awhile, Milt!

The bar?... The bar?... You mean 'the bar association?' lol. Upon reflection, lawyers will probably fall for this faster than bartenders. Smiles, gw

I hope all those bills sustain you during your flight up there where Russia has shot a missile and created all that space junk that would destroy you. Since you are going to have all that green, I know you will be going on a space trip. Got to use that money wisely. Thanks for the visits and encouraging words on my page. Sara

Haha! I'm about as unlikely a cosmonaut as I can imagine... In fact, I'm probably through with domestic flights within the USA... let alone instellar adventures. lol. At any rate, with all my green, I hope I've got enough to plant a few flowers next spring! Cheerio, gw
