“I got thrown out of a strip club last night for using Monopoly money”

The board game Monopoly has fake money, called “Monopoly money.” A joke is:

“I got thrown out of a strip club last night for using Monopoly money. I don’t see why I should pay real money to see fake boobs.”

The joke was posted on Twitter on April 23, 2013., and has been printed on several images.

Wikipedia: Monopoly money
Monopoly money is a type of play money used in the board game Monopoly. It is different from most currencies, including the American currency or British currency upon which it is based, in that it is smaller, one-sided, and comes in different colors.
