You hand the woman a crisp dollar bill, marveling at the low, low price.
"What the hell is that?" She refuses to touch it.
"A dollar." You shake your head. Digital payment systems have rotted people's brains.
"Ain't no dollar I ever seen. Dollars are round, got a fancy lady on 'em, and -- most important -- they're made o' silver. Now, gimme my money."
"Sorry, this is all I've got."
"Well, I guess you got a choice to make," the lady decides. "Either you work it off, or I call the sheriff."
