A Good Spiff Idea?

This question comes up a bunch, so here's a new answer. See this box thing with the money coming out? I got one of these for a family member who was having an 80th birthday this past Sunday. No, not my younger brother 🖕. 

...filled it with 80 ones. "If you had $1 for every year, you'd have 80 bucks, now keep pulling." The string of money was over 40 feet long. Imma do a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place mystery box competition and just throw some kind of sticker over the happy birthday thing. 

...and you're not.
