Another thing about restaurants we've noticed is that it is very common for the person preparing or serving your food to also handle the cash register. Money is FILTHY. Any number of contaminants are on cash and coins including, but not limited to, illegal drugs of all kinds.

A top scientist for the FBI says the money you're carrying in your wallet is probably contaminated by cocaine.

Thomas Jourdan, chief of materials and devices at the FBI laboratory in Washington, D.C., says 85 percent to 90 percent of the currency in the United States has measurable amounts of cocaine. "A new bill is kind of a wall-to-wall sticky surface in a microscopic sense," Jourdan said. "And over the course of that bill's life, it gets things to adhere to it as well as drugs of abuse."

Everyone's money is likely tainted -- even those who've never seen crack or powder cocaine in their lives.

Well I'll be jiggered! You won't see me walking around sniffing my cash.

Of course, I most likely have the cash *without* the cocaine since I've heard it's totally uncool to snort with single dollar bills. {grin}
