My day so far.
by Mouser

I gave the clerk at Burger King a fifty-cent piece and she stared at it for awhile, I think she wanted to ask me what it was but she had clearly lost her voice recently, so she just guessed its value and gave me chang that would be appropriate if the coin were worth $1.75. Using alternative currency is fun. I think I'll see what I can get for a Sacagawea dollar next time.

Later, I met a man who had broken his neck and back, then passed a woman walking down the street brandishing a long sword. I counted $88.50 in change on my desk.
