The Washington Waltz

Believe it or not, gang, this one has no interesting story behind it. It’s just the silly tale of the Washington Waltz. This was the Free Monthly Magic Trick in July 2007, which just happens to be the very first issue ever! Enjoy The Saga:

A Long Time Ago, In a Wallet Far, Far Away, money was different, yet it was the same.  If you were a quarter, by golly, you looked like a quarter.  Times were different then.  I remember when the bills had smaller faces, and the Kennedy half-dollars were popular.

I remember the time when pennies were valuable, and dollar coins were not made of gold. I remember when I had an eagle on my back.  Every time I turned around, there she was, but not anymore.

Now we’re all different; our eagles have soared to their freedom.  It’s sad, but we’re learning to deal with it.  We Washingtons must stick together.  Every once in a while, we’ll gather together and dance that old forgotten dance, the one that helps us remember who we are, the one that we call, The Washington Waltz.  Ah, the memories.

How entertaining was this episode:
