Good afternoon. We have a lot of information to get out, so I will not be taking any questions. As of 1 the US Treasury Department has issued a full recall of all 776 Billion pieces of U.S. currency in circulation. I know this must seem like a blow, coming on the heels of this morning's announcement that our federal budget deficit has passed the $8 But regrettably, these particular bills were printed with dye containing toxins, that while completely safe at this moment, will become extremely deadly, Friday, at exactly 12 noon. As a result, we need to act quickly. OK, tomorrow, all Americans will receive a bag like this in the mail. Just rubber band the money into neat piles and put it into the sack, and then drop the sack into your nearest mailbox. Do not, under any circumstances, attempt to burn or shred the money yourself. The federal government are the only ones that can destroy the money, as we are the only ones with the proper facilities to do so. Excuse me, this is a massive recall, is there any..? If you review the old laws, it is actually not so uncommon for something like this to be done. So, there really is no need to panic or to review those old laws, because I just told you that it's true. We understand that this recall will be hard on U.S. citizens who will have no more money, but we assure you, if you work hard, you will eventually be able to earn it back. This is in the best interest of the America people. This dye poisoning causes your internal organs to rot from within, and is really painful until you puke up your guts and die. What, what recourse...? - I said no questions. There's really is no time to think about this. Just listen to me, and send in the money. Thank you.
