My friend and I were having a conversation about the current state of the economy and finances in general. It struck me that money is an alien concept probably planted in the brains of early humans by UFO people to wreak havoc or laugh at us. So consider this...
Primitive Man: " I just slew this Wooly Mammouth, fought off a sabre tooth tiger while i was gutting it with a sharp rock, i've deboned the meat, remaoved it's tusks, and now I will carry it back home to my wife and viilage."
Carries Mammouth home.
Primitive man: "Wife! I have brought home enough meat to feed the village for a week. I am a hero and i brought you this Mammouth hide so that you may make yourself a new winter coat. Now I get sex!"
Wife: "Make a coat?!? I don't want to make a coat! Mammouth hide is so last millenia! I want to go to Macys and buy a coat!"
Primitive Man: "Buy? What's buy?"
Wife: "Purchase with money. You know good old greenbacks you big oaf. Paper Money."
Primitive Man: "Paper Money? What?"
Later
Alexander: "I am Alexander the Great, my army is the most frightening the world has ever known. While I am gay I need a queen to bear me children. Any takers?"
Alexander: "What? Would no one allow me to sire their offspring? How is this so?"
Alexander: "What the hell is paprer money?"
lastly
Ceaser: "I, Julius Ceaser, conqueror of most of the known world. I shall inspire an empiric line that shall rule for centuries"
Senators: "Stab him!"
Ceaser: "Et tu Brute?"
Brutis: "of course..."
Ceaser "?"
Brutis: "They'll pay me in paper money"
Just think about it...
