I got $40 cash back at the grocery store self-check out. As I hear the machine start to spit out bills, I look over. I heard the noise more than twice, which caught my ear because I was expecting twenties. I look over and...
WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT!?
Who decided that the five dollar bill needed to be purple? With a GIGANTIC purple number five in the corner? Actually, some might say the color is closer to lavender, but either way, it sure as hell isn't green. There's a hint of our "green back" in the edges of the bill. Lincoln looks like he's basking in a pink wash, complete with a bee-like swarm of '05's in some probably-not-random order trying to get him, if only they could get through the front line of purple-edged stars. On the Lincoln Memorial side of the bill, the pink hue really looks like a stain.
I just don't understand. One tinny, tiny bit. Nope. Okay, I'm done now.
