THE BAHAMAS (The Borowitz Report) -- People around the world have been flabbergasted to learn that a man who created a business based on imaginary money might be a fraud.

In interviews spanning the globe, respondents expressed shock and disbelief that a firm offering customers wealth by turning their actual money into pretend money could be anything but legitimate.

A bit naive I think.

If you take a handfull of Australian dollars to Peru how much do you think they would be worth in the local shops?

Paper money is only worth anything because we agree it is - tomorrow we may agree it isn't.

Read some history.
