POST #16—MONEY MATTERS, INTERMEDIATE LEVEL

What was the price?

Is that in new bongoes or old bongoes?

The old bongoes were called bingoes.

What was the difference again?

Bingoes are worth one thousandth of a bongo. Don't accept bingoes.

Well, I seem to have a lot of bingoes in my pocket. Do you think they gave them to me at the bank?

You know what, the 200,000-bongo bills look almost exactly like the

5,000-bongo bills. I wish I had noticed that before.

Well, I hope you noticed that the 500-bingo bills look like the new ten million bongo bills.

How much did that roll of film cost?

I'm not sure.

I think I'm getting low on bongoes. We'll have to find a bank that's open again to change bongoes. Or maybe go back to the man at that jewelry stand.

Change. Do you have change for 500,000,000 bongoes? How come nobody has change around here? I just gave him five 100,000-bongo pieces, what did he do with them?
