Ben Franklin is dead. Long live Ben Franklin.

Some folks refer to me as a tightwad. Now that just isn't so. I am conservative, not a tightwad. Yesterday morning I killed good ole Ben Franklin deader than hell. I don't mind disposing of Andrew Jackson, but I do hate to say goodbye to Ben. It hurt my feelings something awful to say farewell old friend, but alas my car was in desperate need of a new tire, $92.10 worth of a new tire to be exact. Poor old Ben turned into Abe Lincoln, a couple of George Washingtons and some small change.
