At Least I Have A...

At Least I Have A... by woodendesigner.
So I have been meaning to take a picture of this dollar since last week when I went to get a bagel from Korean Bagel (It's a little typical "Bodega" run by a very nice Korean couple and they have some of the best bagels.... but that is a different story). Anyway I got this dollar as change but did not notice until a few days later. I laughed because it really just sums up everything that has been going on with the stock market and in a way everything that I have been ging through lately. I have been very hesitant to spend it and now after shooting it for you people to enjoy I have decided that I am going to save it..... Even though thay also dated it on the back ( 9-20-07) so it was actually written a year ago.

Also I don't know what the deal is with the "dollar dollar" or the lack of proper punctuation after "My" but it still makes me laugh because I did not notice it until I tried to spend it several days later.

Perfect! It made me laugh.

And the "dollar dollar" bill thing is from the song "Sweetest Girl," I am guessing.

Frame it and hang it on the wall - it's only a dollar.

And if things get worse, you can always take it down and spend it.

Great shot thanks for sharing. Reminds me of my Dad who always carried a penny in his right shoe. I ask one time why he said this way I am never broke.

yeah, whoever wrote that gets demerits for lack of punctuation.
I'm going with the quotes after "my" and between the dollars.

FYI, the song listed in the first comment references C.R.E.A.M by Wu Tang Clan. What I'm saying is that the term "dolla dolla bill" wasn't originally popularized by the song Sweetest Girl. I'm sure that who ever wrote the words on the bill was speaking of Sweetest Girl, though, especially since the song came out a couple weeks before the date recorded on the back.
