There wert a time, oh a long time ago,
like in movie time, when you could
tip someone a sketch more than they’d expect
and you’d say “thank you” in a
low ruffled D and they’d say
“thank you,” clean surprise in their voice
and tall eyes with bouncy brows like
“thank you” you know? trilly and upright
and a tip of the bellboy’s cap as for punctuate.
And I suppose it’s still possible these days
to mark such a response
though I ain’t heard so myself.
And what would it take?
Like a gazillion freakin’ dollars?
yeah — you’re probably right about that. If I bought some bazooka gum, for example, and I paid my nickel, and then dropped a Hamilton, they’d prolly be quite bouncy and trilly and whatnot.
But just imagine how pissed I’d be if I said “thank you,” sliding the bill over, and they said “you’re welcome.

In the right context, I think you could get that kind of reaction for a crisp 20. Would it be worth it to you?
