Comeback Kid was first introduced to The Five Dollar Note Secret Society Club in April of 2005. One half of Comeback Kid was serving a gentleman at a cinema she worked for at the time and when he opened his wallet to pay she noticed a very large collection of five dollar notes. George couldn't help but ask:George: Why do you have so many five dollar notes?
Gentleman: I collect them. I never spend five dollar notes. At the end of the year I have enough for a small holiday, or plenty of savings for Christmas.
George: Really? That's a great idea!
Gentleman: Yes. You can save upwards of $1,300 each year.
George proceeded to ponder this concept and came up with three reasons (known amongst society members as The Three Rules to Five Dollar Note Supremacy) and they are as follows:
1) $5 doesn't get you far - you can't break it for a tram ticket so you might as well keep it.
2) Don't listen to people when they tell you to save gold coins instead. You live in Melbourne you fool - you need your coffee!
3) Don't get greedy and try to save tenners or twenties as it wont work. You do not have this much self control. You still haven't quit smoking, you drink more beer than Bob Hawke in his heyday and you don't even like Dancing with the Stars but you still watch it. Don't kid yourself. So, to conclude, this is the most important point and is known to all members as the Fivers not Tenners You Greedy Bastard rule.
The ultimate goal of our society is to collect so many five dollar notes that they go out of circulation thus ruining our great empire - as all great societies must collapse.
