Mind taking Hawaiian money?!?!?

Heck, no!!!!

Old Hawaiian banknotes are worth BIG bucks.

This one is worth between $40,000 and $60,000.

When I worked in Seward, Alaska, a women got off of one of the tour boats and asked me (I was in uniform, USFS) if the locals took American currency!

Another ranger I know said someone off a boat and visiting Seward asked her what the elevation of the town was! (Seward is at sea-level.)

Tourists are goofy sometimes. I used to live in North Idaho and was cross-country skiing Tubb's Hill one day (a pretty city park in Cd'A) and these two people dressed in business suits, a man and a woman, came struggling and walking up the trail through two foot of snow!

The lady was wearing high heels, and I just stared at them, then asked them why they're walking through snow dressed in business suits:

"Oh, we're visiting from California"!

I almost wanted to ask them if they thought the laws of thermodynamics were suspended for visitors from California!
