I cannot decide. I have two equally attractive choices, and I am having a very hard time deciding.

When you think about it, cash is government vouchers.
That was my deep thought for the day. It almost hurt. We show less advertisements to registered users. Accounts are free; join today!

When confronted with such a situation he creates a third, worst possible decision option, and goes with that. He’s one of those ‘smartest guy in the room’ people. But with no other information to go on, I recommend you flip a coin.

Usually you pay extra for that. If she's the same price as the regular hooker you're getting a pretty sweet deal there Marty.

Expecting a package and finding the "you weren't home" card in your hallway even though I WAS AT HOME THE ENTIRE [BLEEP] DAY.

First off, I am a bit behind in this thread so I clicked on the last page. With that said "cash" over here is the last bastion thwarting the governmental machine. I cannot imagine willingly allowing "big brother" looking over your shoulder at every step of your life by using credit/debit cards.

At some point you just have to let go of what you thought should happen and live in what is happening.

Maybe it's because our politicians haven't willingly sold out to corporate interests. We show less advertisements to registered users. Accounts are free; join today!

History is replete with examples.

I understand some men occasionally pay for a bar tab or a round of golf with cash, simply to prevent their wife from learning of said activity. It allows one to have plausible deniability. I personally have no knowledge of such actions.
When you get into the endzone, act like you've been there before.

Welp.
Here's a classic. Lost car keys. Almost never happens to me for more than a few minutes, but I've turned the house upside down and can't find the only remaining key to my pickup. My GF has my car till 10pm - so I'm somewhat stranded. May have to uber to the grocery store!
I keep 2 complete extra sets of house/car keys in the kitchen junk drawer, because this happens to me all the time.
You gotta keep one step ahead of your brain when you've got one like mine. Unfortunately, I can't keep an extra wallet around.
