I must have a very good eye, because I have noticed that seated Lincoln before and I have known he was there for a very long time.

When I was in grade five or six, there was a joke going around that was great for playing on gullible kids. If the kid had a dollar, you would ask the kid if he or she knew that there was a hitchhiker depicted standing next to the monument on the back. The kid would inevitably search for the hitchhiker and usually say something like "Hunh, hunh. I don't see a hitchhiker."

Then you would say, "Let me show you." You would take their dollar, look at it, look at them, and say, "You are right. He must have caught a ride."

I never looked, I just bought candy with them, when that was still possible, LOL! This was a 1/2 second shot, pretty steady for an old geezer!

There's another one that uses a twenty dollar bill.
Take the twenty, hold it up to the light, and declare it a fake. Pretty girl nightclub patron is embarrassed but curious. How can you tell? "All the windows in the White House are broken". Girl laughs, boy has his foot in the door.
This one is older than the sun:)
