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]

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

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.

What's a couple of letters here and there between friends?
Made me think: the Seven Against Thebes, are they the good guys or the bad guys? I have no idea. Am I for Thebes? I don't know! So similar philosophical uncertainty (although perhaps not universally applicable)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Am I for Thebes? I don't know!
Officially this summer's conundrum! I Phoebe would know.
