Nancy Classics by Ernie Bushmiller for December 25, 2020

Five dollars back then would buy a whole lot of candy.

Forget about the rest of the papers, Sluggo found one that’s most important to him!

Betcha it’s Monopoly money, LOL.

Now he can buy NANCY an ice cream cone at the ice cream parlor!

$48.73 according to www.usinflationcalculator.com. That would be quite a few cones even for Nancy :)

I find change all the time, 2 dimes just yesterday

Paper money laying around is a lot less common, but over the years I bet I’ve literally picked up over 200 dollars

The three best things I ever found laying on the ground;

1. A $20 bill.

2. Two tickets to a Genesis concert.

3. A half ounce bag of marijuana.

On drunken nights I used to kiss a centerfield.

Virtue rewarded.

One year, two days before Christmas, I found a wad of cash ($20s mostly) in the middle of the floor of the supermarket. It had to be at least a couple hundred. I turned it in to the service desk — I pictured someone frantically looking for their Christmas money, or the money they were going to spend on their Christmas dinner. I just hope that whoever it was, they were reunited with their cash.

Wow five bucks that was a lot of money back then Sluggo get a lot of candy

Good for sluggo!!! He’s one poor kid that could’ve used that5.00

“Get off the grass, kid! That’s a five dollar fine.”

I googled it and apparently $5 in 1955 would be worth almost $50 today.
