Maybe the guy who put the quote marks on (they were obviously added) was NAMED Bill and wanted the machine to make a new man of him. However, i guess they only modify the 'Bills' because it says below: Bill to Bill....
I actually think that this is a correct use of quotation marks. Obviously, it doesn't CHANGE the bills - turn them into paper airplanes, etc. It EXCHANGES paper money for coins. It doesn't even "make change" - because you get the equivalent amount back. Shocking, with so many misuses, that this might actually fly.
Please send your submissions via email to bethanykeeley (at) gmail.com. I look at them all, but it might take a while to get to yours -- sorry! I love you all, but I only have so much energy in a day.
If you want your picture to make the blog DO NOT @tweet them, or leave them in a comment. I need them all in the same place. Make sure your emails are easily distinguishable from spam or viruses (I use gmail web interface, so images get previews).
I don't usually post the following: newspaper headlines, personal email, craigslist postings, unprofessional websites. I also tend to not crosspost things from other blogs, since I have so much unique material waiting for me to get to it.
Things I see a lot: silica gel "do not eat"; hair dryer labels; inside the bus "do not drill"; Wal-mart sign about IDs; coffee machine with "2" cup sizes; employees must "wash hands"; that failblog post.

LOL! Hey buddy, can you change a twenty? Yep...I can change it from yours to mine!
haha, good one Carolina.
Well, it's not like they magically transform your bills. They just trade you for 'em.
If it stops working, it's an ex-changer. :P

This is a correct usage. I'm so "disheartened". :)
