Doubtless scrounged from under the couch cushions...
From freelance writer Ryan Bigge, via his blog and a posting in MyHogtown, word comes that he received a $30$40 payment for a short story from one literary journal in the form of an envelope containing
- a twenty dollar bill
- a ten dollar bill
- a five dollar bill
- two toonies
- and a loonie

Umm, actually that's a $40 payment...
Umm, wouldn't that be $40?
Of course, it would. Which leads me to wonder which is funnier; a journal paying in loose change, or a blogger like Bigge who makes fun of them, but seems to get the math wrong.
I wouldn't be surprised if it was the board members digging into their own pockets so he could be paid something.
