FIVE Reasons Why Elvis Would Give Us Five Dollars

FIVE Reasons Why We Think THE KING Would Give Us Five Dollars If He Were Alive Today!

1. He Liked To Travel. We like to travel too and he would be able to see that right off. You know, we knew a woman who was a stewardess (back in the days when they were called that and the bouffant was the hairdo of choice...) and she met the King in a bar in Georgetown one night. He and his troupe took over the bar and all the pretty girls got to stay. He ended up whisking them off to Graceland by private plane, gave them kimona's to wear while he had their clothes cleaned and pressed, showed off his new southern estate and had them back at the airport in D.C. the next morning in time for their flight. Now THAT's a guy who knew how to spend five dollars!!!!

2. He Loved Hotels. We used to work at a big hotel in downtown Richmond, Virginia, in the 1970's and the house detectives used to tell stories about the King all the time. He would take over a floor, redecorate and even have mirrors installed above the beds. He'd spend thousands upon thousands for the slightest comfort...someday we hope to be nouveau riche like the King, and with your five dollars we can!

3. He Loved CARS. There is another legend in the south that the King was shopping at a car dealership when a nice, elderly Negro couple (they were called that back then) came in to look at the Cadillacs. The salesman assumed they were just window shopping, and thought they would disturb the King, so he was rude to them. The King was so upset, he bought the dealership, fired the salesman and gave the couple a new Caddy. Who knows if it is true or not, we still think if you are going to be rich, BE RICH like the King!

4. He Loved Money - and he was very generous with it. He used to carry silver dollars (remember, this was when a dollar was like five dollars today...) and all you had to do was open a door for him, or smile nicely or whatever, and he would flip one to you. We here at GIVE US FIVE DOLLARS really want to be able to do that...just over tip like crazy and make someone else's day as good as ours will be when we are really really stinkin' rich. Won't that be fun?! So be like the King and flip that five dollars OUR WAY!

5. He Loved His Family and Was Basically A Nice Guy. Okay, towards the end he got a little strange, but that was what the FAME did to him, not the MONEY. He's still our Nouveau Riche Role Model, and can't wait until we can be like the King!

Tacky purchases, generous to a fault, traveling the world while the Old Money sticks it's nose in the air - it's the American Dream and we want it!!! So come on, all you newly rich people out there! Share some of that wealth! All you oil barons and sheiks and lottery winners, you know what to do! Let's make the dream come true! GIVE US FIVE DOLLARS TODAY!

(And Liz...honey, if you're out there...the rest of Loudoun County was rootin' for you babe. Old Warner was wrong to have stuck you in the middle of that horsey hunt crowd...You should have come on down out of the Middleburg Old Money Haze and hung with us po' folks at the other end of the county. We didn't care if you were New Money...to us you were THE QUEEN!!! And when we gross enough money off this silly website, we're gonna be sure to have you over for dinner to prove it! And you don't even have to GIVE US FIVE DOLLARS 'cause you're our idol! Well, okay, if you insist...)
