There is this old wives tale about how Wozniak used to use or sell sheets of uncut bills he always kept on hand, one time he got reported to the feds and the feds explained to the person "Steve Wozniak is a government contractor". Funny guy.
As I heard it, he'd perforate sheets of two-dollar bills and tear them off. People nowadays might not even know there are two-dollar bills. Jefferson's on 'em. Their circulation has been been in decline for decades because it's simpler to use singles. So a smirking engineer ripping out a fresh rectangle of printed cotton started a lot of tense conversations.
I’ve never heard of a government contractor being a criminal…………………..
are you stupid?
Whoosh ✈️
explain it then
It was an obvious joke. The ton of ….. at the end was meant as the punch line. Meaning he’s heard of a ton .
yes clearly very obvious.
Based on the number of down votes, I would say everybody else was getting the joke and you weren’t
