Money laundering - my style
Last night I was ironing and discovered a note of money in a pair of trousers, not mine, but one of my son's. I remember my mother saying that it was dishonest to take money from your husband’s pockets. However, she elaborated, if you happened to gave them a good shake and something fell out, then that was fair pickings! The logic seemed sound if slightly morally flawed. The note was crumpled into a tiny ball, deep in a pocket, and I straightened it on the ironing board. Then used the iron to flatten it and was impressed how new it looked. I suddenly decided to iron all the paper money I could find. With what satisfaction I returned the crisp flat hot notes to my purse. The thing is today, it strikes me as more than a little odd to iron one’s money. Is this the first sign of madness or the last action of an anal retentive individual? As I use the bills in public I’m careful to crumple the notes a little. After all, no one needs to advertise how strange one has become to the whole world!
