Seriously, though: what's with the penguins?

street cash

Today I found $40 in the street. Really. Near the post office. This makes it the most money I have ever found on the street at one time, overtaking the 10 pounds (I don't have the pound symbol thingy handy) I once found on Bond Street (in London).

I hung around on the street for a little while, to see if anyone came running back, scanning the ground with a worried expression, but there was no one. So after about 3 minutes I just decided the $40 was mine. Merry Xmas to me.

E-mail me if it was your $40 (snort, guffaw).
