"Too late. I called my bro, conceded, and crashed. Should have stayed up. Unreal.

At halftime they showed the most points down that had ever been overcome
to win. Three times teams
had come back after being 10 points down. None had come from more than a
10 point deficit. At the 25
point deficit mark I chalked up the loss. Called the bank, had the
checkbook on the desk, ready to
write the check in the morning.

I got up and my wife had left me a note: "Patriots Won. Jim is sending check."

I guess he forgot that I'd conceded. Or maybe he thought I'd demand a
recount anyway. Who knows.

I should get the money any day now. Can't wait. Don't know what I'll buy with it.

All of $2.00."



WOW! You're quite the big time operator.
It would cost at least $2 to write and mail a cheque up here. Almost
that much to send the money by etransfer.
I would just send one of these

Just like my buddy who passed away couple years ago. He always used $2
bills.

Back in the 60's the air force base at which my dad was stationed would pay the airmen in $2
bills...their whole check. Of course the checks weren't as big back then. The purpose was to show
the communities how much money the military was spending on the local economy. The idea was pretty
good for a few months after that payday all one would see was $2 bills everywhere.

Don't know if other military installations did that or not.


I'm sure the strippers were thrilled! They are part of the local
economy, right?
