Hay You
FOUND by Megan
in College Park, Maryland
My husband was about to spend this dollar when I noticed the writing and snagged it. I'll put it back in circulation soon. The wig is the part that intrigues me.

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...
Wonder if he got the lady with the wig to do a jig!
I'm just wondering how he gave the lady in the wig this particular note. Eeeeew!!
Wig girl from the strip club?
I'm thinking yeah.
You'll have to pay me more than a dollar for a dance.
Wig girl will do *anything* for a buck. Here, "dance" is merely a euphemism.
'ay! 'o! Lets go.
do ya do ya do ya do ya wanna dance?
The Ramones
Why is everyone assuming that the person in the wig is a girl?
Remember when it used to be just a dime a dance?
LMAO!
I found money on the road this morning - I wonder how I should spend it.
Why would you feel the need to point out the outfit of the person you hand a note to? Isn't the intended recipient fairly clear? "Hey you in the Metallica t-shirt, you wanna Rock my world?" Okay, that one made sense.. but the implications of money are in no way flattering.. here, buy a better wig!
George Washington is on the front of the one dollar bill.
Maybe this person thought he is wearing a wig.
A popular myth is that he wore a wig, as was the fashion among some at the time. Washington did not wear a wig; instead he powdered his hair
I was thinking maybe a fancy dress night. Possibly in a barn, hence the 'hay' instead of 'hey'.........ho ho!
Either that or an old folks' shindig where the recipient was a little hard of hearing, hence the note.....
@George
yeah, I assumed the note was aimed at George Washington on the other side of the bill too
spam question" mix yellow and blue, what color do you get? is the answer plaid?
@ George and @ Monkey ... I don't see any bleed-thru. How did you two flip the image over to see the Washington portrait on the other side? Photoshop?
yeah, i'm with librarian. this find is definitely 'shopped. the lighting is all wrong.
fun things to do with money:

hilary that was a fun website.
If anyone is looking for another excuse to avoid work - here is a fun place:
www.sleeveface.com
The first image you see is NOT me.
Oh yeah - it has nothing to do with today's finds.
well... it's a one dollar bill, so I'm just assuming Mr Washington is on the other side of it.
unless I'm incorrectly remembering who's face is on the 1$
*goes to check wallet*
isn't it pretty much common knowledge that there's a portrait of a dude named George on the other side of a dollar bill? Just wondering.
@alan
thanks for the link....I am still smiling (with my wooden teeth).
Math sucks!
@Alan--That was a very clever website! My favorite was the Ronald McDonald flipping off the camera, holding a KFC bucket! From the comments, it looks like that site originates from Wales, the country of my origin! (yep, my lineage is Welsh, those hard-drinking coal miners...)
Librarian... i'm canadian, and i know that george washington is on the other side of the one dollar bill. Do you need a holiday?
Alan, that's a cool website!
Hillary, now there's an idea! Thanks for giving me something to do while waiting in the waiting room. Can't believe I didn't think of it. Can't believe someone actually took the time to photograph them and put them on a website. Actually, yes I can.
THANK YOU to whomever posted about sleeveface.com! I totally do this with magazine covers and it always cracks my husband up. Will have to go through the record album stash tonight...
I'm just wondering, if this note WASN'T intended for George, how did the note passer get it to the note receiver?
I think I'd take more than a little offense if a guy walked up to me and handed me a dollar while I was out on the town. I'd be looking for the nearest bouncer instead of noticing the tiny note scribbed on it.
I think the dollar was given as change to a customer by a bartender. He hoped she'd notice the writing as she put her change away and notice him.
Re: Sleeveface, the first "sleeve" looks like Billy Crystal tying one on.
@George Always thought G.W. wore a powered wig.
@7old ladies...not everyone here is an American, so they might not know who's on the U.S. dollar bill.
Thxs for reminding me of this:
7 SEVEN OLD LADIES LOCKED IN THE LAVATORY
(Partial lyrics)
Oh dear what can the matter be?
7 old ladies locked in the lavatory.
They were there from Monday 'til Saturday
And nobody knew they were there.
The first to go in old Mrs. Humphrey
she only went in to make herself comfy
but when she went to leave
she couldn't get her bum free
'cause nobody knew she was there.
Well the next to go in was old Mrs. McArthur
she needed to go, to the washroom she darted
she paid a nickel, but she only farted.
And nobody knew she was there.
The next to go in was old Mrs. Schuster
she sat on the handle and thought someone goosed her
She said " oh my dear, it don't feel like it used to.."
And nobody knew she was there.
Cubby, are YOU my DAD???
Wigs are tricky... when done right they can be fun, but when they're really obvious as in the second you get on the bus people start wondering how the man possibly thinks that he looks better in a wig than bald, maybe better to avoid except for fun.
Also, navigating through the finds is tricky. I can't find this one going forward from the one before it, only from going backwards from the one after.
And just to point out my ignorance, I'm Canadian and I don't know who is on any money, except the queen on our coins. Canadian bills, US (cuz American could mean north, middle or south America and though I don't know who is on any of the countries on those continents I just find it weird to say it to allude to the USA) bills, or anywhere else!
Sorry Nighty I don't think I have any children, but if you ever need one I'm here. :)
@Smallbear--I love how you put that..."I don't THINK I have any children." You stud, you.
Well Cubby, I know you're not really old enough to be my Dad, but I hope you're not young enough to be my son! 8-)
@mlm didn't mean it like that but...does a bear **** in the woods? Of course.
Nighty There's no way I could be your son unless you had a baby at 12!(You didn't did you? Just kidding!)
sleeveface is highlarious, btw. i had to wait until i got home to look at it.. dang government......
Let's get the folks at Found to get this bill back into circulation, cuz I'd like to see people just passing it along from one monetary transaction to another. It's sure to spark a smile or a frown from the recipient, wig-wearing or not.
I'd wager that *most* people submit scans of their Found dollars, rather than sending in the actual moolah.
@ HILARY & ALAN- Fanf*kin'tastic sites!! Thanks!
@ SMALLBEAR- Like I've said before, your stories, quips, and quotes are absolutely hilarious!!! Excellent entertainment! Thanks, hun!
As for the FIND...not so funny or amusing!
