Cash Only
She looked at the stack of papers—pictures of famous people with numbers written on top.
“Are you going to pay with those?”
Don nodded.
“You'd better find a bank.”
Don didn’t move.
“Are you going to go to the bank? What you gave me isn't real money!”
Don replied “your sign says this establishment takes cash only, no checks or credit cards.”
“Yes, I meant cash that's issued by the government, not just something you drew on a piece of paper!”
