The $20 Theory
CodeWritinFool sends this article from Esquire; it's a little over 4 years old but interesting if, like me, you haven't seen it. (It's also in PDF, which will probably get you Adobe's oh-so-helpful-and-annoying "checking for upgrades" dialog.)
The $20 Theory of the Universe
There is almost nothing on earth that cannot be had for a price. The question is, what is that price? And the answer is twenty dollars.[...]
Used correctly, a twenty is all about movement, access, cachet. Forget the other bills. The single won't get you much more than a stiff nod and, these days, the fin is de reigueur. A tenner is a nice thought, but it's also a message that you're a Wall-Mart shopper, too cheap for the real deal. A twenty, placed in the right hand at the right moment, makes things happen.
