Strip club skills help you in the strangest places

I’m spending the month of December touring the Holy Land and Egypt. At a Greek Orthodox monastery, high on a mountain above Jericho, I thought it right to leave a donation in the box by the door. Other pilgrims had problems pushing their bills through the narrow slit in the box. I, however, creased my bills neatly in half as I would to put a tip in a stripper’s thong, and slipped them easily into the box.
