"Then cometh MoneyChangeriah, his undergarments still aflame with a great burning, with many scrolls under his arm, unto the house of the King. And he was led to the inner chamber, where he was greeted warmly. "Live forever, O King", sayeth MoneyChangeriah. "Ask", replieth the King, "and it shall be yours, even up to half of my kingdom". "O King (live forever), remeberest thou when thou didst borrow much gold from me, and giveth me these scrolls which represent the borrowing? These bonds are your debt, and I have come to redeem them, for CentralBankeriah cometh unto me and demand that I repay him, and I have not wherewith to pay, because a wise man from the east with a large rickshaw cartest away my gold, and Minerkiah did set aflame my shorts..." "Yes, yes", interrupteth the king (for lo! he had little patience for MoneyChangeriah, nor did anyone else) . "So, O king (live forever), please redeem the bonds, so that I may have mine own money back." The king then inquireth, "How much are the bonds for?" "One million utils of gold", replieth MoneyChangerkiah, for all in this land had taken economics and knew what a Util was. "Indeed, that is very much", replieth the king, and he taketh out ANOTHER scroll and writeth upon it: "One Million Utils. This note is legal tender for all debts, public and private". And he handeth the note to MoneyChangeriah, and taketh away the bonds. And the face of MoneyChangeriah did become puzzled, and his mouth was agape, and he saith unto the King, "I gave unto thee gold, whyfore dost thou give me paper?" "Paper for Paper", replieth the king. The gold which thou giveth me in exchange for the bond I lent to CentralBankeriah, who lent it back to you, who sold it to a wise man from the east with a large rickshaw, and so we have no more gold, but paper. Now take thy paper, and begone". And MoneyChangeriah looketh at the new note, and the face of FDRiah was upon it, and he was not at all surprized." Chapter 8, vv 17-45 garynorth.com
