Point #1:
	I once heard of someone who paid something like a $100 speeding
	ticket with pennies.

	In a jug.

	Filled with molasses.

	He got slapped with 'contempt of court' so fast it made his
	head crash.  (lets all make up new hybrid cliches, OK?)

Point #2:
	Since this 'Nothing ove $20' practice started, I have been asking
	sales people (and even some managers) "What if I buy $99.99 worth of
	whatever you sell and try to pay with a hundred dollar bill?  Will you
	take it?"  Almost all say they would.  The issue appears to be not
	the size of the bill, but the amount of change they give you.  You can
	buy one gumball with a twenty, and they'll do it.  But not with anything
	larger, they don't want to keep that much cash on hand.

Point #3:
	There is NOOOO point #3.

Point #4:
	No, you CAN NOT say exactly who you willserve in your business.  This
	is the whole point of the Civil Rights Act, isn't it?
