I once found a pad of tear off $2 on the ground of the departures drop off at O’hare airport. I thought it was a novelty initially but after closer inspection found the bills to be real. It’s been a 20 year mystery to me how that came to be since I’ve never seen anything like it since. Now I’m wondering if I found Woz’s pad.
That would be quite interesting because when I was very young I crank called him after finding his number online. He collects phone numbers with repeating digits and mine has 6 repeated numbers. I guess he found my number peculiar and picked up! In my young and starstruck state I panicked and hung up. How coincidental to have potentially two obscure path crossings with the Woz.
- divbzero 2y agoChances seem small that it was his, but chances also seem small of another quirky guy making tear-off $2 pads. 6 repeating digits is quite impressive: maybe you could call again and ask if he was in Chicago around a certain date.

- bombcar 2y agoNowhere near as suspicious as the tire shop in east LA late at night on Sunday when I needed a flat patched, and I only had credit cards on me - and a uncut roll of $2s in the trunk. I pulled that out to cut some off and pay and they all started screaming about feds and told me to get the hell out of there, no need to pay.
