You are the type of person who doesn't particular care how something looks as long as it works, as long as it does the job. Family and friends have no understanding of your inner self, but neither do you. Today, you are likely to spend a great deal of time going from convenience store to convenience store trying to buy either a cell phone case or a pair of designer sunglasses. Be on the lookout for neighborhood pets, especially belligerent parrots. You should consider shopping at stores or businesses beginning with the letter U, but do not buy any products with a serial number or product code containing the number 537233. Your preferred shopping venue is thrift stores. Your special symbol is the comma (,).

You definitely go with function over form and substance over style.

These accounts, also termed transactions deposits, make it possible for customers transfer funds easily and quickly to another, which makes them ideally suited for use as money. Checkable deposits are approximately one-half of the official M1 monetary aggregate tracked by the Federal Reserve System. The other half is currency (paper bills and metal coins).

The hazards of being a pedestrian are many. Of course we have a good chance of crossing paths with a rabid bengal tiger that has highjacked a street cleaner and intends to whitewash every pair of jogging shoes encountered. Or a throng of overzealous religious fanatics might try to slip fresh flowers into our hands and literature into our pockets. And especially when we amble through the financial district, we might be crushed by falling stock market investors who have mistakenly BOUGHT HIGH and SOLD LOW. While the actions of the bengal tiger and overzealous religious fanatics might be understandable, what's so almighty important about the stock market that would make investors place the well-being of innocent pedestrians in jeopardy?
