Today, I have him whistling a different tune.<\/p>\n<p>He went to McDonald\u2019s last week for a highly nutritious low-cal meal and got a buck somethin\u2019 in change.  When he looked at it, he saw that the printing was a little askew.  So, at his brilliant wife\u2019s suggestion, he listed it on ebay to see if anyone would like to own his imperfect dollar.  Surprise!  They would!  As of this moment in time, the bid is at $31.00 with 10 hours left to go.  Check <a href=\"http:\/\/cgi.ebay.com\/ws\/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;rd=1&amp;item=350012923090&amp;ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT&amp;ih=022\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">it<\/a> out for yourself.
