Default How would you spend $5 in Philly?

OK People,

Forget getting $1Mill, how would you spend an extra crisp $5 bill you just found on a downtown street?

I would do any of the following:

Get a chocolate milkshake, buy a full lunch on Wendy's dollar menu and buy a comic book, buy $5 worth of popcorn kernels and have a blast at my apt, or, most importantly, buy some well-deserved bunni treats :razz:

What would you do/buy?

Hopefully no one posts any super dirty answers :?

A six pack of lager. I guess I would have to buy it at the Naval Supply Depot though to get it for $5.

It is on a military base.

There is a Navy depot in Lawndale (Oxford & Robbins), where I buy alcohol because it is way cheaper than anywhere else around here. Also, since it's on Federal property you can buy beer (6pack, 12pack or case), wine and liquor all in the same convenience store tax free.

Wow, that's almost reason enough to move to Lawndale

Know of any places like that near No. Libs?
No, but you also need a military ID card to use the facility. So for risking being sent to Iraq, you get cheap booze. ;-)
