Illegal Tender
First, a man tries to pay his bill with a drawing of a spider. Then, the spider drawing sold for $15,000 on ebay.

That reminds me. I've got this gnarly quarter that I was nervous to try on my building's notoriously fussy laundry machines. Instead, I've decided to try and spend it at Starbucks, which I honestly didn't think would be much of a challenge. However, the first time I tried to use it, the cashier refused to take it, offering to cover the change for me instead. After that, each time I've tried to use it, the people at the register have given me my coffee for free. It's proven a hellish road towards achieving my goals, but a somewhat cosmic avenue to getting free coffee.

bad quarter

Ok seriously, I'm sick of telling you. I don't pay for sex in quarters anymore.

Dear lord that is kind of weirdly awesome.

It's gonna be really upsetting when someone accepts it, I'll bet.
