I found a bus ticket in the grass boulevard.

i found $5 in a pile of leaves.

I used to play only the free money given to you at Internet casinos. Usually I would cash out when I hit $50 profit to lock in my money. My best run was turning $10 into $450 in Blackjack.

I found a dime in the bathroom on TWO separate occassions. I happily picked the dime up with a tissue and washed it. =D Who ever said bathrooms aren't full of treasures?

I got so much bat mitzvah money that I'm almost afraid to spend any of it.

The solution to and cause of all of life's problems.

There was a time in Internet history where money and free stuff flowed like milk and honey. The "dot com bubble" they call it. Free stuff here, money for doing next to nothing; you got money just for surfing the web. There was one company, AllAdvantage, which paid around $0.50/hour as long as you displayed some ads at the bottom of your page.

Quick search (this was before they called it "googling" and Yahoo! was king) on the Internet revealed programs that would simulate web surfing. Instant free money for doing nothing.

Maybe this is why the dot com bubble popped. Too much money being thrown around for ideas that simply weren't profitable.
