Message:: [QUOTE="wacky1980, post: 1936749, member: 32383"]if i only had an extra $4000 just laying around... i was in the bank this morning, and i was packing a couple cash bags to send to tellers at other branches. one teller was receiving $5,000 in hundreds, and i noticed that the top bill on the stack was a star note. these hundreds were all new, fresh from our correspondent bank, so i thought i would look to see how many more of the stack were stars. turns out, the top 40 of them were all brand new, uncirculated, sequential star notes. first thing i did was ask a loan officer if they would give me a quick loan so i could buy the notes and flip them for a quick profit. the guy i asked said he had no problem with it. hurdle one passed. next, i asked the wife if she would allow me to do such a thing. hurdle two...wipeout. ok, no worries. we have a stack of cash we're holding onto for our bar's big festival. i can borrow from that if there's enough left over, and replace it in a week or so. hurdle three...wipeout. we've already invested the cash into supplies and services, so there's not enough left to buy it all. i could have taken the last $2,000 and used it, but it would have busted the bar's cash fund, so no go. i watched the bills walk out the door, to be dispensed to the general public, about half an hour ago. then i quietly cried myself into a coma in the bathroom.[/QUOTE]
