>>Cash is king.
IOUs must be the pretender in exile.
Many years ago, had dinner with a bunch of
friends, one of whom was a banker. After the meal
there was an unusually scrupulous division of the
bill, the banker having calculated everyone's
share. The nitpicking nettled me so much I
deliberately muddled up the cash, much to the
banker's annoyance. "Hey this is serious," she
exclaimed. "Stop clowning."
Something about the moon that night. Must have
been. Anyway, that made me escalate my muddling,
causing more protests. Finally I took out two
twenty dollar bills, tore them into confetti,
showered the table with them. Banker got furious
and walked out.
Not one of my prouder money moments. Banker,
however, is still a friend.
