A cotton farmer was busy baling his crop when a boll weevil walked up to
him, and asked to buy some of his best, at a thousand dollars a bale. The
farmer was a little skeptical, but quickly came around when the insect pulled
out a bankroll of new, crisp bills and started counting it out. "Well," thought
the farmer, "for that kind of money, why not?"

They exchanged the money for the cotton, and the weevil devoured the cotton
and waddled away. But as the farmer was counting the money later that evening,
he noticed that the ink was still wet, and came off easily. "I should have
remembered," thought he, "that the rub off money is the loot of boll weevil."
