This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

True enlightenment lies in seeing that carrying $100 in coins is really quite inconvenient.

True enlightenment is understanding that $100 in coins serves better as a self-defense tool than $100 in bills.

I would prefer the 100$ in bills, as it is easier to carry. I also prefer small breasts.

but you can beat someone up if you use a few coins in a sock

What about an ass I can bounce $100 in coins off of?

I don't understand the analogy it's a simple question

That's the joke. A simple and completely preference-based question is answered in unnecessarily indirect way, with deep-sounding fake philosophic phrases.

Coins or bills is also just preference.

It is making fun of a specific format. Buddhist lessons usually go this way, someone has a question in mind, asks a guru, the guru replies with another question, and then the seeker gets enlightened.

This joke is brilliant because, like any good parody, it works well as an example of what it parodies.
