Definitely and "Odd Couple"– Thomas Jefferson & Elvis PresleyQuite frankly, this is a duet that I never really anticipated. Thomas Jefferson, lead copywriter for our Declaration of Independence teamed up with “3 phases” of “The Elvis.”

Here are the phases for review:
1. He was cool in the 1950s
2. Became a movie star in the 1960s
3. Got fat, took drugs and died in the 1970s.

For only $19.95 (plus shipping and handling), you can buy an authentic colorized “Graceland meets Monticello,” $2 bill (complete with a protective display portfolio and numbered certificate of authenticity).

Should there be an emergency and you have to use the bill, my guess is that you have an excellent chance of being rapidly escorted out the express exit of the local mini-mart, $2 bill and certificate of authenticity following immediately behind.

Thomas and Elvis, perhaps we shouldn’t have gone there. I am going to resist the temptation to purchase. I hope that you do too. – Doug.
