Rent

Rent by velo_city.
My roommate (and tenant) likes to pay his rent in various ways. This time it was almost all in one dollar bills.

The photo would be interesting in the bills were 100s :)

The out of focus areas make the impression that the $'s go on forever!

Ha. Well, I can't charge that much for rent (gee, maybe I should, then I wouldn't need a day job). And the stack was pretty big - being all ones for a month's rent.

Funny little practice they've got there, eh? Seems kinda like a small expression of usury rebbellion.
In a society which glorifies their power and our passivity, all thought which challenges this passivity is thoughtcrime.

Looks nice from the thumbnail, but then when you look closer it's only $1s. Maybe your roomy should get a checking account.

It's a good photo, and you seem to have a great attitude towards your roomies prankish rebellion.
