Right away.

Check for $1,500,000 is enroute. I was late last month because the
Bank of Monopoly got my address confused. They thought I still lived
on St. James Place and my new supply of checks was delayed in arriving
at my new digs, (the dumpster out back of the Electric Company).


Funny you should mention the Bank of Monolopy.

One of my Dad's brothers was a VP at the old Parker Brother's factory
in Salem, MA which developed Monolopy. There actually was a Bank of
Monopoly in the building with a faux valut, faux armed guards and all
the trappings of a real bank. When they did tours, it was the
highlight of the day.

I have pictures around here somewhere that I should scan of that.
