The Story of the Five Dollar Bill

Northampton is sometimes hilariously small.

The story of the five dollar bill goes like this:

My sister, Lily, and our friends Jeff, Gaea, and Abe were eating at Joe's Pizza.  When they went to pay for their meal, Abe pulled out the famous five dollar bill.  He noticed it had something written in Spanish on it, to a guy named "Jorge," from a girl named "Evita."  So he showed it to Jeff, who teaches Spanish, so he could translate.  Lily looked on... and then started wondering if "Evita" wasn't our friend Evie, and if "Jorge" wasn't her lover in Peru about whom she's been talking nonstop for months (and to whom she's been making terribly expensive long-distance phone calls for months...).  Then Gaea looked over and realized that, yes... Evie had written the note on the $5.  Gaea knew this because a) she was there when Evie wrote it and b) Evie had payed her back for something with said $5.  Gaea had spent the $5 in Cornucopia (the local health food store)... and now it had somehow ended up in Abe's pocket, soon to end up in the till at Joe's Pizza.  It's like our own local version of www.wheresgeorge.com !

(Now I really want to start writing funny things on money that could only have been written by me so I can see where the money ends up going...  )
