Hundred dollar bill

So I went street performing last night. Barry counted the money this morning, and we learnt that someone gave me a hundred dollar bill!

When I street perform I usually go out for about 2 hours. I usually get a little bit of change, a lot of 1 dollar bills, eight to ten $5 bills, and one or two tens or twenties if I'm lucky.

Last night I got a hundred. I wonder if the person just made a mistake and pulled the wrong bill out of the wallet. I mean you'd have to like someone quite a bit for you to want to give them $100. I wish I would have seen the person, so I could look at them and see if I could figure out their motives.

Either way, a hundred bucks is a hundred bucks. I'm liking this street performing thing.

Wow!

Congradulations on your hat pull. Must have been a good pitch. What is your act when you street perform? Do you have any patter or do you just practice with a hat out?

I would love to hear more about your show.

Does Olga ever street perform?

I'd consider that a lucky find its not likely that that would happen it wouldn't suprise me if they mistook the 100 for a 10

I hate to be negative, but - any chance it may be counterfeit?

Is there any possible way to give a heads up on when to look for you?

That's Awesome. Probally unlikely, but it would be funny if they just didn't have change for a 100 and took like 90 dollars out of your hat and put the 100 in. lol.

WOW! I've never gotten more than a $5. I doubt it was a mistake, you're just that good.

Was sweet bazoongas there? This might be love--work it, until she runs out of cash! Kidding...

Hey Vova, I saw you today and gave you a twenty. I was happy to give you the money, and I'm sure that your mysterious benefactor felt the same way.

haha no sweet bazoongas lives too far away

congradulations on having both youre petitions approved! great news!

Hey Vova, anybody give you 2 dollar bills? I love getting 2's and buying stuff, because theres no slots in cashregisterrs nowadays that are for a 2$ bill

Even more fun than just $2 bills is the friend who gets 100 new $2 bills from a bank (all sequentially numbered, of course), glues them up like a regular pad of paper, then walks into a store and peels off however many of them are needed for the purchase.

He gets REALLY funny reactions from cashiers and customers waiting in line behind him, because it appears so suspicious, yet no matter how much fuss they make about it he's not guilty of any crime, because the money is completely legal.

Somewhat meaner is the way he torments the fresh-off-boat 7-11 cashiers with legal but unusual coins like Eisenhower dollars, Kennedy half dollars, etc. Automated toll booths don't tend to like those very much either, from what he says.

I doubt you would be able to guess a person's motives just by looking him / her into eyes. That is, unless you have psy skills ;)

anyway, you' ve got yourself a fan, that's for sure. hundred bucks is hundred bucks...

vova thats really cool
you should go back twomorrow
at the same time and place
an see if that guy or girl
comes back.

I became a paid juggler yesterday after a boy shoved a one dollar bill at me while I was juggling. I was elated!

I do alot of street prforming but more than that i do paid gigs. most give me $100.00 a day to juggle or $75.00 just to be there. i usally have a great spot (near a atm machine of course) and i always make sure the audience is laughing. But one day (probably my best day ever) some guys in suits walk up to me and i quote "We liked you alot" and then one of the guys pulled out there wallet and handed me a $100.00 bill and just walked away. i was so excited that a picked up my stuff and ran so fast to my dad and showed him.
sometimes I juggle at ren fairs and i like to juggle next to or in beer gardens and sometimes i get huge tips like $20.00 dollar bills that people just walk up to me and hand them to me.
I think people do that sometimes cause it makes them fell rich, dont you think?
