ABSTRACT

A stockbroker and a lawyer were sitting in a bar, chatting with the bartender. The lawyer listened as the others argued about the existence of money.

“Of course it’s real,” the bartender said. “My customers pay me with it. Look, I’ve got over a hundred bucks right here.” He pulled out a wad of dollar bills. “See, you can feel it, hold it, it’s real.” He handed it to the lawyer, who used it to pay for the drinks.
