Do Not Forget This
FOUND by Joshua Fruhlinger
in Baltimore, Maryland
I got this five-dollar bill as change at a Japanese restaurant up the street, and was intrigued by the note at the bottom.

We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
Wait...What was I supposed to remember?
Oh yeah....Freemasons. I found that you get much better masonry work if you use masons that charge money.
Sounds like someone saw The Davinci Code. I love when people write on money, and this is an especially cool note to put on money.
The writer of this little note is pretty vague and non committal- I can't figure out if America being a nation founded on Masonic values is a good thing or a bad thing in this person's view.
Hey curmudgeon man! I hope you spent this $5 on comics.
All I really need to know, I learned from Perry Mason.
This is a bad thing. Not the find, but masons can be...
Call me a snob but I prefer to get my Masonic symbolism in Mozart's opera "The Magic Flute."
ill forget as soon as i spend that 5 bucks on beer
Actually, America WAS founded on Masonic values. Our founding fathers, such as George Washington and Benjamin Franklin, to name a few, were Masons. I'm sorry to get on my soap box here, but true Mason's are famously tolerant of relgious freedom. So to you judgemental bitches out there (hotmom), cool it, and thank your lucky stars (and stripes) for the Mason philosophy.
I think the writer is just making sure we have all the info, and then we can make our own decisions.or maybe he just ran out of room, or the other side says, 'and that's why we keep electing a*holes
Somehow I don't think Bush has any association to the Masons.
I see YOU.
I used to collect interesting money with writing, stamps and so on, on them. My favorite was a dollar bill with a bullet hole through George Washington's forehead with the blazend message "Thelma and Lousie Live!" scrawled on it in sharpie. But times got tough and I needed them for beer money, so my collection is floating around somewhere. I wouldn't mind finding some interesting money again and re-starting my collection.
Spam question: who was the first president of the United States?
Having never given it much thought before, I wonder what are MASONIC values?
Beeswax , I collect interesting money too . My favorite is a $2.00 bill printed in red ink .( not the picture , just the writing . ) Has anybody found any "Where's George ? " dollars ? I like those .
George Bush doesn't have any values .He's vacant .
Thanks for the info , GW in your wallet , I've wondered about that .
It weird... but when you really look around, not only are there a lot of masonic halls, you find that you know a lot of people who are members. And hey, if you're in post-secondary school you should look them up, they give out scholarships!
hahaha i thought it said masonic valves! hehe my bad
Oh, I love the "Where's George" bills... sadly, only one of mine has made any progress. It went from MN to FL.
Spam question -- are nursery rhymes international? Would everyone know what Jack and Jill went up?
Looks like someone just finished reading/watching the Da Vinci code. Either that, or National Treasure. Conspiracy Theorists live!
PS George Washington: calling someone else judgemental is in fact being judgemental yourself, as you are judging their view of things. She has a right to believe the Masons are bad if she wants to.
George WAhington would be ashamed of you impressonating him. Your cursing and name calling is not Masonic valuable.
Beth, you're right I was being judgemental. There is a running joke on Found about judgemental bitches. However, Hotmom was showing her ignorance (as she often does) and she needed to be put in her place. I know there has been alot controversy with the Masons because of their secrecy and "exclusive" memberships, but they are a community service organization and one should not fault them for that.
You're not even writing the "joke" properly anyway.
You're not even writing the "joke" properly anyway.
The only joke is George Washington.
Hey Michelle, how should the "joke" be written. By the way I think you are the new Mona Lisa.
I have noticed that SALT goes away on weekends. Could it be that he only has access to computers at work, and spends his whole day there getting paid to banter senselessly?
Oh, hotmom, please stop before you embarass yourself any further. Lord, Lord, Landlord.
Stoner, I was wondering the same thing. It is labor day weekend. Maybe he does have a life after all. I'm relieved.
Dead princess, to answer your question about Masonic values. They focus on tolerance of all kinds, charity, honesty, loyalty. All the things the basic,say christian would value, but a certain God is not specified, kind of like AA. To be honest it more like a fraternity. There is a lot of networking with a focus on comminity service (Shriners Hospital for instance) as a front.
Where that Sand chick. She was interesting, but I think she is Mona Lisa.
Who do you all think the new Mona Lisa is, cause you know she couldn't refrain from commenting. It's not her style. I personally miss her quick wit and elegant prose. I hope she'll come back someday.
Since she quit posting as Mona , have you seen any quick wit and elegant prose ? Maybe it was there , but you didn't think it was so lovely because it didn't have the Mona name on it . Isn't that strange ? I've read a lot of funny and witty remarks that get no attention at all because they don't have the familiar names attached .( things that make me go hmmm ..)
This one doesn't get me going. speaking of the magic flute, I love its amazing treatment and portrayal of women. i'm tired and not even the posts on found are interesting. hmmmm.
P.S. missing in action -- i agree. :)
...where I once went to a performance of the Magic Flute (which was great) -- it was a spooky building -- in the gents' toilets there was a sign saying 'PLEASE ADJUST YOUR REGALIA BEFORE LEAVING'. True, tee hee. I wish I had a photo of that sign. (Oops, have I just revealed a Masonic secret?) You certainly (if you're a man) get some strange handshakes from the most unlikely people (I don't mean in the gents' toilets).
Jonathan - Perhaps Sen Craig was just performing some secret masonic handshake in that bathroom stall. That would explain a lot.
Stoner and Norma - I, too, notice the lack of postings from..let's call him Cap'n AllCaps. But do you miss them?
Who wrote this? An new member with zeel or an old who just wants to get his point across!
Hey...to all those worried about SALT...it is the Holiday week-end and he's not here but we are? Now who needs a 'life'? LOL...
It is judgenmental, bitches.

Hey, George Washington, I was wondering if you Masonically affiliated yourself. You seem rather educated and moderately tolerant....if you aren't I can't help but recommend it. You did seem to lose your temper a bit with "hot mom", but I suppose I can understand your position (though not condone it). You are in fact right about our founding fathers, as well as many great people through history. In fact, Freemasonry is still very active, and continues to promote forward thinking, devotion to the supreme, and, above all, service to others. Freemasonry spans the vast expanse of this nation, across the shining seas to countries all across our beautiful planet. I do hope that the writer of this piece was not intending malice against Freemasons. If they were, they, like "hot mom" (as well as some others who have commented in this space) are in desperate need of some education to rid themselves of their ignorance and suspicion (perhaps just a little education about Freemasonry is all they need). They may also want to look into some respect for the feelings and beliefs of others. I happen to be in two Masonic organizations myself - and I can say that every day of my life has great meaning and purpose because of it, and I cannot possibly express the pain it gives me to have people openly attack something I love so much. To put you in my shoes, "hot mom" (and others), how would you feel if somebody attacked you for something that important to you? Your family, for example? I admonish you to think about what you say before you say it. Especially in a medium as permanent as writing in a plane as public as the internet. You could be hurting even quite a few people. Please and thank you.
I just noticed something, Georgie, you claim Masonry is "secret". If you are truly supportive of Freemasonry, you would stop saying that, since it has a tendency to breed distrust and suspicion. We are NOT "secret". Fun fact: You can actually get access to much of our traditional lectures in local libraries if you know where to look! If you would like further info, feel free to make the effort to educate yourself, or even contact a local temple...I personally don't mind explaining Masonry to people (it certainly beats a haze of ignonance).
Aw, I remember when I read those Illuminatus books in high school and actually believed all that secret conspiracy stuff. So cute! Now, of course, I realize how quaint it all really is to buy into it, but those books do make great high school reading!
Masons are a cult, just like the Mormons. They let you see only what they want you to see. That which makes them look good, and continue their 'secret agenda' in the depths of 'the temples'.
"Beth" I doubt a female is a true member of the Masons.
Masons are not a cult. I cannot force you to see the light past your dark shadow of ignorance any more than I can make a horse drink against its will. We have no "secret agendas", we do service, and if you cannot believe that people are in the world doing good for the sake of doing good, then I pity you for the life you lead. And, for your information, there are many Masonic organizations that do include women (and women can be Masons in France).
PS ~ Georgie, I was not having a "temper tantrum", but thank you for your concern. I do not recall throwing my body onto the floor at any point yesterday evening. As petty as most of the commentary upon this site it, I felt obliged to try and clear up the confusion. I can only do so much with such a limited canvas (and limited minds). Perhaps my emotional and satirical writing style left you with the impression that I savor in taking cheap shots at people, I have always felt that a sharp, projective style can engage readers. Oh, and "worthy advisor 'mother'"....fantastic title. You nearly broght laughter to me with whatever you attempted to imply.
Masons are a cult.
I do pity you.
But shall we explore this?
What makes you think so?
Tell me and I shall prove your superstitious misinformation false.
I found a ten dollar bill at my work that said "I told my girlfriend i loved her and I meant it!" I didn't have money so I couldn't buy the ten dollars.
Beth , let's don't explore this . Yay for Masons , good for you . Go ahead and pity , you judge(n)mental bitch . Your diatribe doth really annoy me .
Beth, sarcasm is a form of anger and you are dripping with it. Therefore, I can only derived from it that you are an unhappy person. (Worthy "Mother" Advisor) I assume you are Evening Star. I have a question if you can answer without being indignant. What are Illuminatus books. P.S. I am not your enemy, but since this is the internet and I'll never personaly know you I tend to (and so do you) be more straight forward (rude) than I normally would. I like the Mason and think they are a great organization.
Mathew Barney is responsible for this found.
"...and women can be Masons in France."
Oh well gosh, how very 21st century of them! They're totally not a sexist organization then, are they?
Beth is probably the wife of a freemason, and the extent of her involvement is baking cookies and mending capes for her husband and his brotherhood.
Beth what would your husband say if he found you were on here? Hmmmm?
I don't think any "real" members of any private group would even bother defending their values or their agenda because if they did they would not be "private" or "secret" any longer.
Psst! The Trilateral Commission is under your bed. Pass it on.
I wonder if this was submitted by the same Joshua Fruhlinger that writes the Comics Curmudgeon blog.
There seems to be something on the other side!
