Genesis 6:5,6

$50 bill: dedicated to American arts. Our first $50 – Billie Holiday a drug addled prostitute who gave the world her gift of song.
$20 bill: dedicated to American letters – Truman Capote – This writer was a source of pride to every bath house regular.
$10 bill: dedicated to American sports. Billie Jean King who had the courage to stand up to an old white guy to prove virtually nothing.
$5 bill: dedicated to American science. – Al Gore robbed of the 2000 election he rose above this to dedicate his life to fighting global warming.
$3 Bill – Dedicated to all loving members, no matter whose member they love.
