What Makes Me Smile
FOUND by David Stofle
in Washington
I found this today on the floor of my bank. I saw it while standing in the deposit line and laughed to myself as I read it. As I left the bank, I couldn't help but pick it up. It was so cheery. I know what makes me smile, too.

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...
that's one way to go about asking for an overdraft extension! haha
It looks like 2 different people wrote it!
Also, wanted to let the people at FOUND know that this quicksilver ad [Which Appears on the right hand column]- is also covering one side of the peron's "Find" on the Left side of the screen...Weird?
I'm using Firefox, not sure if it's that way for anybody else. Even after refreshing my browser a few times...
The best things in life are free..
And that's why we have Found Magazine..
this is so cool. Too bad the bank will never get this comment form.
Erin has been covering up the find for me, too, but she got put in her place once i refreshed. (firefox here too)
This bank seems pretty obsessed with making people happy:

Say it with me: WaMu, WaMu, WaMu, WaMu, WaMu.
There. Aren't you happier than you were a few minutes ago?
What makes me smile is a big dick and a sense of ha ha.
What makes me smile more is a short guy with a big dick and a sense of ha ha.
Money is the shifting sand upon which all foudations are built for homes destined to fall. Seek the bedrock of human kindness and compassion instead.
Ahhhh... honesty.
How refreshing. This one made me smile, too!
Yeah, I have the ad problem also. We need to keep that little hussy in the ad off our founds.
But is anybody going to Bumbershoot?
The money stays in the bank, not in your hands.
Short guys with big dicks make me laugh. They need big feet, too, so they don't fall over.
I am having a hard time this morning, trying to control the coffee from spraying out of my nose.
Really, this site is better than the morning news
Great sense of ha ha, you all!
Ahahahaha!!! I wrote my comment on the 1st FOUND for today and now I'm reading these comments...HMMMMMMMMM?
My hubby is short and stocky, but he doesen't fall over Mona...:( J/KS!
Holly, I'm glad he doesn't fall over Mona.
I think you'd have a question or two to ask about his, er, monagamy (or his spelling).
Making someone laugh for free?
Priceless.
For everything else there's... money.
I looks to me like 5 year old Timmy was bored waiting in line at the bank. "Mommy? How do you spell money?"
So she spells it out for him, and after she sees how awwwwwww... cute! his little note is, she adds to it. And smiles more.
Then she intentionally drops it, face up, on the floor of the bank in the hopes that someone will Find it and send it in to Found.
I'll bet it made her smile even MORE.
Just for the record, Holly's husband has never fallen on me. Or for me. (well, that't only cuz we've never met... humma humma)
Having been in banking for, ahem, mumble-mumble years, I have seen things like this and heard all of the customer jokes regarding money. "Do you have any samples to give away?" " How can I be overdrawn? I still have checks left" and so on...Har-de-har-har. But I will agree that it is kind of cute that it looks like a kid wrote the first part.
@ mlm ...
Can I get that $10 in two 3's and a 4?
MOOLA..its called MOOLA thats funny HA HA
When I was a little kid, at the Big Parade, employees of one of the local banks were running around giving kids little business card thingies, each with a penny glued to it. The cards said, "who says we don't give away free samples?" (and then the bank's logo, address, etc.)
I probably still have one of those somewhere in a box of memorabilia.
LOL @ JONATHAN!!!
And, MONA darling...you never know!!! He just might fall ot tip over for you, if and when we meet!!!
I love ya, girl!!
**or**
Q: Where does a bank robber hide the swag?
A: At a cache-point!
Hahahahahaha!
This reminds me of Mr. Krabs from the Spongebob Squarepants movie...
"and what was your reason for building a second Krusty Krab right next to the original?"
"I like money." :D
@Librarian--I'll admit, I haven't heard that one yet! I've only heard things along the lines of, "Can I get 3 fives for this ten?", usually followed by fake laughter from me...But yours is an original!
luv ya too, Holly.
Hey, mlm, you being an (i'm assuming) American bank type, is it true that mostly only strip joints hand out $2 bills? (asking you to answer as a bank person, not a strip joint attender.
...and now a quote from Citizen Kane to make people think I'm older than I really am...
"It's easy to make a lot of money - if all you care about is making a lot of money."
Spoken by the little squirrelly guy with the fedora (I think.)
@Mona--I worked at one bank where we had a LOT of strip joints do their banking with us. Along with our regular order for cash, we had to order a TON (I mean BRICKS!) of one dollar bills for them. So, no, tittie bars, in this area at least, don't use $2.00 bills. Now, I believe there is an Asian tradition of giving out $2.00 bills on certain holidays, because we had a lot of Asian people that would come in and ask for them. Also, older people would ask for them to give to their grandkids on birthdays and such for something "special". I eventually stopped telling them that a $2.00 bill is worth approximately....$2.00. (and I've only been to a strip joint once, in New Orleans, to see what it was like, btw):)
@Alan goes "pting"--I read something the other day that you might be interested in! Out on DVD this week is a documentary about Joe Strummer! It's called "The Future is Unwritten" and it's by Julien Temple. Of course, this may be old news to you, but I wanted to fill you in. (I KNOW you can't be as old as you're trying to make people think because you obviously love The Clash!)
Thanks mlm!
Actually (except for this site) I've been out of touch with the outside world - so I didn't know it was out this week.
Maybe this weekend I'll find it in my local DVD purveyor.
@mlm--Don't believe that age automatically informs musical taste. My mother died 4 years ago at age 81 and she was a rabid fan of U2 and the B52s! Never too old to rock.
@baby basil--No, no, I don't think that at all! My mother is 73, and upon returning from a vaction to see my brother and his kids, she told me her new favorite song is "Freak" by Radiohead! It's just that The Clash is a little more punk than U2, and while I believe my Mom would definitely like SOME of their songs, I don't think she would be such a rabid fan of theirs to include it on a blog name. But you are right--never too old to rock! (although lately, I have been asking my husband to turn it down a little! *gasp*)
wow-I've made some loooong posts today. I'll shut up, now.
Yep, people only care about money, despite the fact that today's dollar is 96 cents less valuable than it was once upon a time.
I agree!!!!!!!!!! :)
mlm, your comments are welcome. Very informative, esp. with regard to strippers and dollar bills.
Anyone know for sure what gender the Librarian is?
anyone know for sure what gender mona lisa is? I heard it's actually Leo's self portrait.
so simple and to the point......money does make use happy!!!
Money won't buy happiness--but it helps you choose your misery.
I love this! Missed reading you guys. This is totally not about the *found* today, but I recently found out my 85 year old mother has been holding out on me and actually like Elvis's music back when she was banning him from the house! She was boppin' on the inside and frownin' on the outside. When I busted her last month, she just grinned at me! The cheek! What are you gonna with 85 year old mothers? Besides love them, of course.
if only they would do that to make you happy.
@Christina
that's amazing
my friend and i used to dance to Elvis when we were in elementary school
her father LOVED elvis, so before he died we used to always dance around to his music
i miss those days
money is the root of all evil.
but this is still funny.
