Not quite as disrespectful to your monetary system as using it as toilet paper, the Money Erasers will let you whip out 20 and 50 pounds and fix mistakes. Money is normally good that way, although this one only works well for pencil mistakes. If you made that mistake in pen you are just SOL. They would probably make a US version but I think they are afraid that the eraser would be worth more than the dollar.

Quagmire on a zebra blanket covered couch while wearing a bathrobe seems right in character. You having to give him money seems entirely wrong, however, particularly if you are a female. I believe that in Quagmire’s world the money is normally flowing from him to the women. Until you actually go to remove money from this bank it just seems wrong.

Apparently, bringing us such classics as “I Got The Feelin’, Oh No, No” and “Honey-Drippin’ Times”, has earned Neil Diamond a special place on this ?50 banknote which is issued from the diamond cutter’s own “Bank of Diamond”. It’s value here in the states: about $1.85.
For those living on Neil’s private island, this means that if you’re in the mood to pick up “The Feel of Neil Diamond” and crank it up on the old Victrola, you can expect to pay about ?250. For the rest of us, you can probably take your bus fare for the week, pick up the album, and still have enough left over to buy all 7 of these banknotes currently available on eBay.

Nothing can make for a good nights sleep like some happy dreams. What you really need is a little reminder of what it is that makes you happy as you get ready to sleep. This pillow not only shows you the proper positioning of the head, but also four of the top dream subjects: women, money, beach vacations and cars. Tough to argue with that.
