in honor of tax day [and because i always try to follow a horrific story from my train-wreck past with something bland and inoffensive--you know, balance], i offer the following for you to contemplate as you write your check and send it off to our wise leaders in washington.
one hundred dollars:
ten thousand dollars:
one million dollars:
one hundred million dollars:
one billion dollars:
and finally, that most casually tossed-about of phrases these days...
one trillion dollars:
and yeah, the guy in the red shirt's still there--he's just awfully small.

I have been thinking about this. If we brought back the $100,000 bill...that would make a trillion dollars merely the guy standing next to a single pallet.
That seems a lot more reasonable to me.
The problem is that our currency is too small.
noblesavage: that's IT--the money's too small!
thanks for that--now that you've solved the problem, i can sleep at night.
