by for fund raising occasions held by hospital auxiliaries Guide and Scout groups and assorted bazaars All one had to do was estimate correctly how many beans the Jar contained and bingo you were the lucky winner of a gift donated by a local philanthropic merchant However a more sophisticated version is currently In vogue that has resulted in the old bean jar being consigned to a back shelf to gather dust The name or the game is now Count the Shah Billions This game is considerably more difficult to win because depending upon which estimate the game organls has heard the answer could hover anywhere between 2 billion and billion and there are any number of variables between those two figures as you can well Imagine TWENTY BILLION One could make skilful assessment of twenty billion three million two hundred ninety seven thousand five hundred fortyeight dollars and sixty three cents only to find oneself ten cents off from the correct answer course even ihlrking of such a sum of money Is mind blowing Does the Shah transport it large wallet and what are his chances of getting It from any American airport to the nearest bank without being mugged Can you then imagine the scene within the bank I would like to open a savings account Yes sir And how much will be you be depositing Approximately 22 billion give or take a dollar or two either way LET LOOSE huh And when did they let you loose mister Actually I just escaped today The money Is all In that moving van parked outside The one guarded by the hovering helicopters and the 5000 CIA agents In disguise Don worry about the cents but 1 would like your teller to count it lo the nearest dollar Yes I hope when all excitement has died down and the Shah settles into the American way of life undoubtedly open ing a chain of Shah Na
