Oh man, that's priceless. I had no idea you did this back then. You could quite easily reprise this on Wall Street today, though you'd have to add a few decimal places to save the entire financial industry from itself.

I made almost $20 in just a few hours and got a lot of advice.

Many people would start to pass me stonefaced, assuming I was an ordinary beggar (very common during the Reagan years), read the sign, and suddenly recognition would come and they'd smile - but it was often after they'd pass me that it registered and they'd do a double-take.
