Half a croissant, on a plate, with a sign in front of it saying '50c'

It's as much a hovercraft as a pancake is a waffle.

Cash sort of looks outdated with the dead presidents. I say we should put pictures of pretty women on money. The one dollar bill should show some calendar biker babe. As the value gets higher, the girl pictured is prettier and she's wearing less. So on the famed $10,000 bill it should show someone like Heidy Klum wearing nothing at all. No more checks or credit cards.

J. S. G. Boggs http://www.amazon.c...os/ASIN/0226893952/
Probably the guy Ander mentions. [rmutt, Jul 02 2000, last modified Oct 21 2004]

Phony 1 dollar bill with Cindy Crawford. http://www.btintern...ick/dolcrawford.htm
I don't think Boggs was involved (it would not at all be like him -- yes, he draws money, but he never tries to deceive people, and he doesn't go for pop), but I still liked the book. [jutta, Jul 02 2000]

       Why so sexist? Can't women have attractive money too? Make my one hundred dollar bill John Travolta!

       What? John Revolting and his Thespian disease from the Hubbard Institute of lower IQ? No way, you couldn't use that banknote for toilet paper. I must agree however that US notes are rather uniform, boring and overall <yawn>, beside being the same size.

       Funny you should mention that idea. Just the other day, a guy up here in Ontario was arrested for passing a phony $20 bill with a picture of Cindy Crawford on it instead of the queen. I'm not making this up.

       One side can have a bloke, the other a bird. One would fold your money according to sexual preference.

       This idea is thoroughly baked, some countries have living people on all their money and not just kings and queens either.
