- I just had a disturbing experience with a Federal Express delivery
- yesterday. It was a COD for $30.00. So I hand the guy a twenty and a ten. To
- my surprise, he said that he cannot accept cash. Holy inflation, Batman, our
- money's worthless! Is this legal? Has the phrase, "This note is legal tender
- for ALL debts public and private" lost its meaning? What's the world coming to?
