killerik - Why the hell not?

Foxwoods' slogan is "The wonder of it all."

I now know what the wonder is. It's when I leave and end up wondering where all of my money has gone.

On Wednesday night, myself and a group of friends went to Foxwoods to celebrate a friend's birthday(Happy birthday Tim!). I went with a little more than $400. I left with a $5 chip that I forgot to use, a pad, a pen, and a bottle of water. At least I didn't gamble away my house, but I think that I was due a win and probably should have.

I miss you, money.

I've personally figured out a TOP SECRET government secret(yes, I know that when I said that it was "top secret" it covered that it was a secret, but I couldn't think of another word and I stuck with secret. Now get over it. Damn it! Now the word secret looks and sounds funny. Don't you hate it when you stare at/repeat a word over and over again and it loses it's meaning? Just me?).

I'm assuming that everyone knows that money has a date stamped on it. Whether it's a coin, or a bill, it's there. If you don't believe me, just pull a quarter out of your pocket(clean off the lint first, it may obstruct your view) and look for the grouping of four numbers. This is the year that the money was created for.

Face obscured to protect the innocent. I'll let you have your own adventure finding the date on paper money.

Now that you know that money is dated; it's time for the TOP SECRET part(yeah, it wasn't the date thing).

I've finally figured out why it is that they date money. It's so that people from the future can't go back in time and use their own money. Every year more and more money is printed and our money is worth less today than it was fifty years ago. Some really smart person figured out a long time ago that one day the time machine would be invented, and that inflation would make money from the future worth less than money from the past. That person knew that a couple of knuckleheads would try to pass their money off to buy goods, services, and even stocks in olde tymes and then reap the benefits in their newe tymes.

Obviously putting the dates onto money has worked. I've never once come across any money from the future. I bet that you haven't either. I'll give you a second to riffle through your purse/wallet...

Times up. Find any "future money"?

Didn't think so.

So, thank you person who had the good idea to date money. You've saved the future/past economy of the world.

Now don't tell the government that I let this secret(there's that damn word again) slip out. I bet that they don't think that the general populace could handle this shocking information. Just like they hide our lizard overlords in a secret(#!*%) bunker on Atlantis.

Note to self: Get a thesaurus.
