Worst…Investment…Ever

burning money As if investing in currency wasn’t speculative enough, I saw a laughable ad in USA Today…um, today.

It was an advertisement for purchasing the hard currency of…Iraq. Yes, folks, you too can get in on the bonanza that is the new Iraq. By sending in your check or money order, you’ll receive actual authentic Iraqi currency.

Use it as toilet paper! Makes a great floor covering for those training their dog! Great for starting fires!

Hurry, though. Apparently “Inventory is limited.”

Ugh.
