12/02: If Money Grew On Trees
Category: Imagination Station
Posted by: wingnut
“Do you think money grows on trees?”
I hear my wallet crying. But there is an alternate universe somewhere that grows money trees in big green forests. In some places they grow faster than weeds---but that’s small change.
If you want big bucks you have to go deep into the rain forest of the International Money Pot Jungle where the high dollar bills grow. You will want to come prepared with gloves, a canoe, money crates and hiking boots to trek across mountains, ford streams, and of course, pick your choice of greenback.
Of course, you must carefully choose the trees you pick from. The yen tree brings a different value than the pound, euro, dollar or lira trees. Naturally the more valuable greens are most difficult to find with harder to reach blooms.
Once harvested, you must keep your money fresh and crisp, because everyone knows what a pain it is to put a wimpy wrinkled dollar bill through a change machine. Picked bills must be carefully placed onto the money crates in layers and secured for drying. Dried money may then be packaged for shipping across multinational borders and traded for goods or stockpiled in the Federal Reserve.
Of course, the flip side of this whole concept is: If money grew on trees, half the world would develop an allergy to it.
Well, I knew there was a catch.
