Moolah Buck 31

In the peculiar town of Quirkville, nothing was more bizarre than the recent financial development. The local bank had started printing hundred-dollar bills with a cute Martian on them. This wasn't some solemn, 'War of the Worlds' type Martian, but rather a green, polka-dotted, googly-eyed, blush-cheeked little extraterrestrial. The townsfolk were flabbergasted. It was as if Ben Franklin had gone on vacation and left his peculiar Martian cousin, "Benny the Martian," in charge. Every time someone tried to make a serious transaction, they'd pull out the bill and would invariably burst into giggles. The local baker couldn’t keep a straight face when he received one, and the town librarian had to enforce a new rule: "No Martian Money in the Quiet Zone!" Meanwhile, Benny the Martian, with his endearing smile and adorable antennas, was creating quite a stir in the economic world, making every financial transaction in Quirkville a hilariously out-of-this-world experience.
