Did you know that if you don't buy stuff, you have more money in your account?

Odd.

Innit strange?

What's more: I noticed that if you leave it alone with itself for any period of time, say a month or more, it breeds. Weird.

No way!!!

You're making that up.

My car has no working AC so I don't do much shopping lately. Which in turn means I don't buy stuff. Magically, even after I pay bills, my account gets bigger. Amazing. Think there's a connection?

I think you guys are making all this up just to mess with me.

Creepy how that works....

And the thing that 99.9% people just do not understand is this--if you *use* more money than you actually *have*, that puts your bank account in a *negative balance* and you get charged *fees*, which drops your negative balance lower and lower....

(Yes, I work in a bank. Yes, I deal with people asking me all day "Why is my account in a negative balance?" *sigh*)

I sorta knew that part. We did negative intergers in junior high.

Kewl. Perhaps you could do me a favor and spread the word? :)

I shall endeavor to do so. In return, I ask that when the opportunity presents itself, you make sure that your bank's lobby contains at least one functioning pen.
