h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

There is nothing quite as wonderful as money
There is nothing quite as beautiful as cash
Some people say it's folly
But I'd rather have the lolly
With money you can ma-ake a splash

Thanks go to MP for these words of wisdom

ever wonder how better off the world would be without money?
we wouldn't have to do anything, and we'll all die!
what a pretty thought...

OK...slightly better thought - we wouldn't have to do anything and we will live *happily ever after*. That's an even prettier thought.

Try this: We'll all have to work as hard as we are now, except the bankers, who will live as leeches off the rest of us, intill they die happy and bloated.
Basicaly the only difference will be our wallets will be lighter.

Does anyone actually have money in their wallet? Receipts, train tickets, stamps, photos, business cards, dust and other assorted rubbish, oh, and some bank cards but no money. Not for long enough to actually count anyway.

Me too. I have:
*A bit of chocolate bar wrapper
*A Woolworths receipt for said chocolate bar and 2 ice creams
*25 p (1 20p coin, 1 2p coin and 3 1p coins)
*My bank card
*A Body Shop Refill Card
*An empty parker cartridge

Hmmmmm...I was sure I had a tenner in here yesterday...

Ah, but you're not doing too badly if you've got some actual change in there! It's always troubled me that my wallet was actually worth more than the contents...

I hope it's a very expensive wallet!

I THINK WE'D ALL BE HAPPIER IF NOBODY HAD MONEY. WE COULD JUST GO TO THE SHOP, GET WHATEVER WE NEEDED AND NOT PAY FOR ANYTHING. THEN WE WOULD ALL BE ABLE TO DO JUST WHAT WE WANTED INSTEAD OF SLAVING IN DEAD END JOBS JUST TO SURVIVE!
