It’s Caturday, so I am posting some cats, and a story about a guy who apparently thinks we’ve already gone the way of Zimbabwe and that you now have to drop 72 American ducats to get a single Taco Bell grease-bomb:

So much for the value menu. A Taco Bell manager in Ohio says a man who appeared drunk walked into the restaurant earlier this week and handed him $72 for just one taco. The manager tells police near the northern Ohio town of Sandusky that the customer who seemed to be in his early 20s refused to take back the money and told workers “Merry Christmas.”

At least he didn’t take in a wheelbarrow of cash. There must not be much going on in Sandusky other than the occasional bit of vandalism at Cedar Point (for which I am sure their crack team of officers has trained extensively on Roller Coaster Tycoon simulations – perhaps CP’s new owners Apollo will consider upgrading them from the 1999 version of the software), as there is heavy police involvement in this case, and the $72 has been impounded as evidence, though we know not of what. The Comptroller of the Currency was unavailable for comment.
