Golf Balls... The New Currency

Allan and I have been studying the economy, and come to the conclusion that the current monetary system will soon change. The dollar will no longer be used, and a new currency will be needed. We decided that the new currency will most likely be golf balls. So... we decided to stock up!
I am not too sad about the change. I think a golf ball is much better means of exchange than the dollar bill anyway.

For one thing, if you forget it in your pocket, and run it through the wash it just looks better than it did before it went in. With the dollar bill, you can try and unfold it and see if it is still in one piece, but most likely you are just out of luck.

Also you can't play golf with a dollar bill, unless you are playing on a really cheap course. (by the way if you know of a course that is only a dollar to play, please let me know?) And when ever you play a game of golf, you can walk through the ruff, look in the bushes, or in the water, and you always find extra balls. So even a bad golfer like me can make a living on the golf course. What can I say, good times are just around the corner. That is, if we are correct in believing that the new currency will be golf balls...













That is a lot of balls!!!

Have you seen Steven Colbert's "Doom Bunker"? He believes our new form of currency will be soy beans. It's pretty funny.

So...where did you get all of those balls and what are you really doing with them?

I agree - I think there needs be another post with details on where you managed to collect that many balls. And then what you plan to do with them... you know, if that whole currency idea doesn't pan out.

You guys are hilarious. I remember when Gary collected tons of golf balls when he worked at a golf course. We made some money off of them when we had a yard sale before we moved from Texas. Our neighbor kept sending his son over to our house to buy more.

If the whole currency thing dosen't work out, we can always skin the balls and make clothing.
We also may have some peoples christmas now planed for the next 30 years.
The golf balls came to us courtesy of craig's list. Allan found them and asked if I wanted to go halfsies. How could I pass up on an offer like that?

This is hilarious. I better not let my husband see this or he will start drooling. He is obsessed with buying new golf balls.
