The
Twenty and the One
A well-worn one dollar bill and a
similarly distressed twenty dollar bill
arrived at a Federal Reserve Bank to be
retired. As they moved along the
conveyor belt to be burned, they struck up
a conversation. The twenty dollar
bill reminisced about its travels all over
the country.
"I've
had a pretty good life," the twenty
proclaimed. "Why I've been to
Las Vegas and Atlantic City, the finest
restaurants in New York, performances on
Broadway, and even a cruise to the
Caribbean."
"Wow!" said the one dollar bill.
"You've really had an exciting
life."
"So,
tell me," said the twenty,
"Where have you been throughout your
lifetime?"
The
one dollar bill replied, "Oh, I've
been to the Methodist church, the Baptist
church, the Lutheran church..."
The twenty dollar bill interrupts,
"What's a church?"
