Hamilton

My friend, Louise, flew into St. Paul from California a couple weeks ago. We were walking to the State Fair and she was lamenting over the fact that she is no longer a coffee barrista, flush with small bills.

"I used to take all my tips and turn them in for ten dollar bills," Louise told me.

"Why tens?" I asked.

"Because Alexander Hamilton is the most attractive man in American currency," Louise replied. "He's just beautiful."
