Dolla Dolla Bill Origami
Translating lunch time conversations to contextual tidbits of reading goodness is harder than one might imagine. Jalapeno was trying to impress us with his currency origami (which he has done many times before) but this one was giving him difficulty.

While we were waiting, Ponch showed us how to make a mushroom with the doller bill. Then this golden quote of the day happened.

And there we have it folks, comedy gold.
