Wouldn't it be funny if, the government abolished currency as we know it and, instead of coin, they chose to do trade with garden rocks? You know- to save our resources or something, as there are a ton all over the place, just lying around doing nothing. It's be hilarious if, all of a sudden, a rock became important and everyone worshiped that like they do the dollar. Oh, and to see people carrying around pockets full of stones would just make my day. What would the values be? Pebbles, stones, rocks, bricks, and finally boulders or something? What about those smooth ones we use as skipping stones? Could they be worth more because they've been made soft and flat by mother nature, therefore comparable to antique coins or something? Would they be of no value, like an outdated bill? What if children painted them, as is so commonly the practice- would that be considered illegal? How could anyone be stoned to death anymore- have you ever heard of anyone being beaten to death with loonies or toonies? Wouldn't it be funny to see people arguing about the ones in their yard? I bet nobody would be mad if they ran over a big rock with the lawn mower. Hey, what if you were walking along the road and happened to be so lucky as to come across a stone?!
In any case, I'm investing in a shotgun and will henceforth be guarding the hoard in my driveway.I'm going to collect them all up into a pile, so they're easier to count. I intend to sit on the top of it, brandishing my weapon and uttering threats to passers by. If you need me, I'll be in the yard.
