When I was working & running around a lot, I kept the majority of the 20's I got from wherever. After a while, I'd accumulated a good-sized roll of them, every one of them joined to its neighbor with scotch tape across the end.
One one of our trips to WI, all the kids decided to treat DW & I to a camping trip. When we checked in, our son tried to pay with a credit card; was told they didn't accept credit cards. Now what!? Roll of 20's to the rescue! I went out to the truck, retrieved the roll that I'd brought along for possible emergencies, and handed it to the desk clerk. She had to stand there & cut them apart, one bill at a time, and flatten them all out (they'd been wound pretty tight) while #1 son & his buddy stood there in shock that I even had that much cash on hand. I stood there enjoying what the clerk was going through. Who the hell, in a business handling large amounts of money on a regular basis, doesn't accept debit/credit cards these days (except that one, obviously)?
& an awesome story!
