I found $5 on a bike ride on Saturday! The odd thing was that one of my random thoughts while riding had been about how cool it is to find money.

I'll tell you what I tell my wife when she finds money in the laundry, or in a coat... "that's mine, I lost it yesterday!"

oh, happy day! I think I would go to my local running/bike/tri store and figure somebody, somewhere would like me to use that $ wisely...and then, inevitably, I would spend way more than I found

Hey thats great, I happened to lose those exact amounts while I was traveling.
You can just send it back to me when you get a chance ;-)

Okay, I guess that won't work. Enjoy your dirty money ;-)

Nothing to it, but to do it

Isn't it amazing how happy you get when you find 5-10 bux... even 1 dollar. maybe instead of getting a paycheck they should just scatter your money around and you have to find it throughout your day. That'd be a day of jubilation!

Weary is the path that does not challenge.

That's amazing. And a pretty interesting look into the human mind.

Then they could just keep whatever you don't find for taxes. Then nobody could complain about taxes because it's your own fault if you can't find all your money.

Perfect!

Whenever I find money it's usually in the pockets of clothes I haven't worn for a while and it was mine originally anyways. But I still count it as new and found and I still spend it :-D

They should have a tax refund system where you get $ for each minute you can stay on a treadmill. Kind of a "health tax credit" for saving money on health care costs...

Oh that's brilliant! Think how thin everyone in america would be. Not because they want to be in shape but because we live in a country fueled by greed. Then the 'large' people would really get ridiculed.

We should get a 1 mile health insurance rebate for every 1 mile we run or every 30minute interval we spend at the gym.

I always find coins when I'm out running, or I'll pick up an empty pop can - cleaning up the environment. I consider it my reward for being out training. You got a bonus! Ten bucks! Nice.

2nd point:

Why not just install treadmills in front of the cash registers at McDs and BK and KFC so you have to jog while ordering?

It would burn some calories and speed up the wait. The dumbies wouldn't just stand there staring up at the board going, "Ahhhh, two large fries and a, a, a coke. No wait, make that a fries and a cheeseburger and a root beer. No, wait.."
