WHERE'S GEORGE

  [Editor's note: our spell-checker missed the misspelled
  "curmudeonly" last week.  Sorry.]

  Arthur Shippee writes: "I'll vote for curmudgeonly (with a "g").
  Mr. DeLorey looks at his money;  I believe it's safe to say that
  few study their bills.  (This probably includes their phone &
  credit card bills, too.)  So, if this project is to work at all, it
  would seem important to mark bills in an eye-catching way.

  If everything that I found excessive were toned down or
  removed, our society would look a lot different.  Is one's time
  so expendable that standing in a bank line is worth this quiet
  comment?"

  Chick Ambrass writes: " In response to Tom Delorey's
  reaction to the excessive marking of paper currency by
  "Where's George" enthusiasts:  My initial reaction was "Get a
  life !" But then I thought that perhaps this is a "pet-peeve" of
  Mr. Delorey, as my "pet-peeve" concerns describing U.S.
  citizens as "Americans".   Mr. Delorey, you certainly have
  every right to feel, and react that we you do...I on the other
  hand,  I wouldn't take the time to rip the note (another
  deliberate mutilation)  and take it to the bank. I simply
  would have spent it.
