THE TWENTY AND THE ONE

Dave Bowers forwarded the following story of 'The Twenty and
the One':

"A well-worn one-dollar bill and a similarly distressed
twenty-dollar bill arrived at a Federal Reserve Bank to be
retired. As they moved along the conveyor belt to be burned,
they struck up a conversation. The twenty-dollar bill reminisced
about its travels all over the country. 'I've had a pretty good
life,' the twenty proclaimed. 'Why, I've been to Las Vegas and
Atlantic City, the finest restaurants in New York, performances
on Broadway, and even a cruise to the Caribbean'

"'Wow!' said the one-dollar bill. 'You've really had an exciting
life!''So tell me,' says the twenty, 'where have you been throughout
your lifetime?'

"The one dollar bill replies, 'Oh, I've been to the Methodist
Church, the Baptist Church, the Lutheran Church ...'

"The twenty-dollar bill interrupts, "What's a church?"
