DH went to the bank for the 2s. I believe he got a stack of them

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
When I was a bank teller, which was, admittedly, decades ago, people who worked in the logging industry would regularly come in and get stacks of 2s. The idea was, I believe, that they would use them around town and then local business people would see the economic impact of logging by getting a bunch of 2s in their tills. No idea how all that played out, I wasn't there very long.
Unrelatedly, I am currently drenched in sweat and melting into my chair and the heat advisory isn't supposed to start until tomorrow.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
It’s very smart to get a stack of those 2s because those teeth can sneak up in you. We have a variety of dollar coins we keep for just such an occasion after having to sneak to a bank while on vacation.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I still have a bunch of $2 bills my banker uncle gave me when I was a kid. I don't think any of mine are the collectibles though. [link]

Our wings are not tired.
Up early this morning because I have a nail appointment an hour away. I'm grateful we put in the furnace last year as it is 51F right now! In past years I would have pulled on sweat pants and plugged in space heaters.

Because books.
When I was at the bakery, we had a regular who loved to give us 2s. It was fun, some of the really young girls had never seen them. It was kind of a pain for the bank deposit, which I had to do.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
My mom likes to give small gifts for Jewish holidays in $2 because it's easy to give multiples of 18 that way. (The Hebrew number 18 is spelled the same as the word "life" so it's a thing.)

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
At my previous (terrible) job, the Executive Director liked to get "creative" with staff holiday presents - one year it was three one-ounce silver bars, but one year it was stamps issued in our birth years, once it was lottery tickets, one year it was a sheet of two-dollar bills. He didn't believe in money bonuses and I was hard up that year, so I ended up chopping up the sheet (I tried a coin/bill collectible store and they wouldn't take them off my hands).

Prius of Thebes
Prius of Theseus, surely? Ooh, are you going to paint it a different color so everyone knows you slew the minotaur?

Bwahaha! And yes, Theseus, not Thebes. I blame...being bad at Greek mythology, honestly. No other excuse.
