My first reaction? “What a dumb ass!” but then, $20 can be a lot when you’re broke!
Mark Giorgio figured a 50-foot fall was worth $20. Giorgio, 47, was counting his money Monday while walking across the U.S. 41 bridge over the Manatee River when a $20 bill blew out of his hand and flew over the rail.
He followed. And plummeted 50 feet into the river.
Then he swam about 100 yards to fish the bill from the water.
“I got my money back, hell yeah,” Giorgio told the Sarasota Herald- Tribune. “Twenty bucks is a lot of money when you’re broke.”

You can buy several cans of beer with 20 dollars.

True $20.00 is a lot of money, even if you earned more than $20.00 an hr, you have to cut the federal tax, state tax, social security tax, health insurance and more unless you worked under the table pay job ( which ofcourse is against the law in America) and Uncle Sam sure do knows how to get it, 1 gallon of milk is about $2.37..so just imagine what you can get!!

there was this man who called several times ‘coz his cheque was declined and was charged $5 for that, must be pretty heavy for him.
