Oct 16 2007Space Money Looks Like Breast Implants
The Quasi Universal Intergalactic Denomination, or Quid for short, is the new currency designed for outer space. They have no sharp edges and are made from the same polymer as non-stick pans -- to ensure no damage to space tourists or ships. Currently, one quid is worth about $12.50, which is probably enough for an intergalactic gumball. A spaceball. But if you don't want to pay that much I'll sell you a hardened breast implant with a juju fruit inside for half the price. Cheap and edible. Win-win baby.

so why won't we use electronic money or some variant on chip n pin? Oh yeah because some MORONS got a grant to come up with this POINTLESS concept.
It's almost as pointless and any of the 'first' or 'second' shouts and even more moronic.
In other words: Gronda gronda.

They called them Quid! That's what we call £1 in the UK. I wish £1 was worth $12.50, I'd be able to afford live-in hookers.

I think that's kind of the point, bipressure. Why else would you call something both quasi-universal AND intergalactic? Pretty stupid name if you ask me.

This stuff's going to sit in a jar next to Sacajawea and Susan B. Anthony. Astronaut's have big pockets.
