I just had a conversation with a semi-friend republican and said "was kinda neat today, got some Presidential dollars in change, we'll get rid of the useless dollar bill eventually".

(brace yourself)

I stared at him for a full 2 minutes to make sure he wasn't kidding, then lost it and fell off my chair laughing... literally!
