      My good man! My good NAIVE man! It's all about da money. DA MONEY! MOOLA! SCRATCH! Whip out a 2 dollar bill (and please don't whip out the other thing) and she'll scoff at you. Here's the plan. Pay attention now. Go down to the bank and get about oh... 50 or so crisp new George Washingtons. Then get two umm.... shit who's on a twenty? ...Andrew Jackson... or if you really want to impress two Ulysses Grants and place them on top of the 50 folded one-dollar bills.

      Today’s Fan Cost Index reveals that it costs a couple Ulysses Grants just to get Mom, Dad, Billy, and Buffy into the ballpark and into reserved seats, after paying an Andrew Jackson for parking. To feed the family four hot dogs, two beers, two sodas, and a tray of nachos, you can kiss another Ulysses Grant au revoir (hey, you might as well learn a few foreign phrases while studying sports).

      There were fewer American dollars than foreign currency; perhaps the judge had lost faith in our monetary system. This was not surprising, because when I tell you what was in the next safe, you will assume he had no faith in the judiciary system either. There were 1,000 Benjamin Franklins, 250 Ulysses Grants, and 2,000 Andrew Jacksons. Total dollars, $152,500.
