.....one day we were down there eating oysters and drinking martinis like we owned the world....ended up on a park bench across the street with a bottle of gin and a bottle of olives......then one of us got the idea to put a trail of nickles, dimes, and quarters down the sidewalk after we watched some bimbo go nuts when she found a coin....at the end of the trail we put a 5 dollar bill down a sewer grate, so it could be seen......I don't know if I have ever laughed as hard since as I did that day watching a growing crowd of people trying to get that bill while we drank our martinis on the bench.

Us poor folks out in the country had to rely upon less expensive means of "coin deception." The ole' super-glued quarter in the aisle of the neighborhood grocery store was a standard ploy. Glued firmly to the floor just in view of the old codgers sittin' around havin' a joe.......fully aware of the ruse at hand.
