Wow.
It's been ages since I've sat down and read something so interesting and humourous. A full hour and a half, and I managed to read it all the way to the end.
And I totally love the ending. He took the high road, and did the right thing. I love how he weaseled out $5 simply based on principle.
As for setting up a tip jar, and selling his story, what's so bad about that? It's a completely legitimate, honest way of making money. He's not cashing in illegitimate cheques, or trying to screw a bank out of money. He's providing a product that he feels people would be interested in, they pay him money, and he delivers the product. So, in my mind, he gets to make money with his integrity fully intact.
