Wonkette trash-eating operative “Jeff” sends this curious lunch-break picture and writes, “It’s a $25,000 check from General Mills to the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute sitting [outside] a garbage can on 17th and K Streets.” This “Jeff” STUPIDLY did not take it, so it may be still there! Just take it to the bank and they’ll cash it, in Ameros.

Maybe it won’t be today, but soon we will all be trash-eaters.
[re=525528]nappyduggs[/re]: Probably better for you than Froot Loops, amigo.
Race Chex® are simply nutritious!
And when toasted, they make for a great party mix that will satisfy any craving!
My bank requires the easel, too, before they accept deposits of this size. Anybody have an easel they ain’t usin’ at the moment?
!Vaya con cheerios!
(Someone please grab it for me and mail to Canadia, and pay the shipping.)
So this General Mills likes Hispanics? Probably wishes he could be like General Pinochet or even Generalissimo Franco.
“Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute”??
Fuck Froot Loops, they’d have just bought carne guisada breakfast tacos with that money, anyway.
I wonder if that is enough Ameros to buy the Ron Paul blimp? It’s magically delicious.
A check printed in comic sans? That’s racist!
Some Teabagger will find it, write “NOT MAH PREZZINTDENT” all over it, and walk around some congressional office building.
These days, is twenty-five thousand really enough money to be using the giant novelty checks? I’d wait until it’s at least in the six figure range.
[re=525547]drrty martini[/re]: Probably why the bank refused it.
That hardly makes up for the white check on every box of cereal.
Even the trash can is able to provide its own caption.
The check was refused because it wasn’t paid in Pesos.
[re=525569]One Yield Regular[/re]: Someone needs to get a can of spraypaint and correct that trash can. It should be properly captioned “F-in’ Golden”.
Damn, I need to endorse that thing — where the hell did I leave my giant pen?
Hey, that trash can is only FOUR BLOCKS from my house!
So, the Congressional Hispanic Caucus offices are in a trash can in DC? Isn’t that a bit racist?
[re=525594]SayItWithWookies[/re]: I think I saw it on your desk.
Stay away from the bowl of cereal that is intended to purchase you will motherfucking drown.
Nice of the city to label the trash can as “GOLDEN” for today’s unemployed, desperately-looking-for-recyclebles-to-sell white collar workers.
Won’t the RNC will be surprised these folks didn’t send the check to their families in Mexico.
[re=525644]McDuff[/re]: Every trashcan in the area has one of those things, as some local business council has dubbed a few blocks around Farragut Square the “Golden Triangle” – probably because “place where you can expect your worklife to be disrupted by lost hippies trying to protest all lobbyists, in general, whiny teabaggers, and Dick Cheney’s motorcade of the damned visiting the Cato Institute” isn’t quite as commercially appealing.
I know a liquor store where we can cash this RIGHT NOW!
The Hispanic Caucus Institute got confused. Welfare checks aren’t usually that size.
This photo must be posted to the forum bancomicsans.com, for yet another egregious use of this horrific font.
[re=525611]Extemporanus[/re]: That’s probably where I left my damn car keys, too. Those things gave me the biggest hernia. Two stitches. And the needle just about killed me.
Shit! It was endorsed and everything? Damn. I could really have used that.
